Are there approaches and improvements that can be integrated here?

I'd love for that project to be used in open source! It's served me well in a handful of closed source projects.

If you need more examples or additional documentation, please feel free to reach out.

Be sure to consider it's scaling design decision before incorporating it into a project:

All assets for this project are stored in memory. This means the pubsub server scales vertically with its sole host's processing power, memory, and network.

The primary use case for this pubsub server is smaller projects where it makes sense to separate publisher and subscriber logic into different programs or hosts/containers.

This pubsub server is not recommended for larger projects that need to scale a pubsub server past the resources available on a single host.

I do have future plans to implement MicahParks/websocket-pubsub#2. This could help reduce load on the central pubsub server by allowing users to connect their own server as a proxy. Reducing the active connections on the primary server.
