## Description

This is a self-hosted WebSocket server for Laravel applications designed to provide real-time communication and replace third-party managed messaging services. It provides a server-side PHP implementation of the WebSocket standard, enabling full-duplex communication between clients and servers.

The project implements a Pusher-compatible protocol to integrate with existing frontend client libraries. It includes a dedicated debug dashboard for monitoring active connections, tracking network traffic, and analyzing real-time server performance.

The system supports Laravel event broadcasting and real-time application communication. It utilizes custom WebSocket controllers to define logic for handling connection events and messages.
