About

PartyKit is an open-source deployment platform that lets developers add real-time, multiplayer functionality to web applications with minimal code. It handles WebSocket infrastructure, edge scaling, and operational complexity so developers can focus on building collaborative experiences. It integrates with popular frameworks like Y.js, Automerge, tldraw, and works alongside existing hosting providers.

Problem

Adding real-time multiplayer functionality to web apps requires complex infrastructure management and scaling that is difficult to build from scratch.

For

Web developers building multiplayer or real-time collaborative applications

How it works

Developers install the PartyKit npm package, write server logic in JavaScript, and deploy it to the edge with a CLI command, with PartyKit handling WebSocket connections, scaling, and routing automatically.
