Array Driver
The default app driver used by soketi is the array driver. This is a static, in-memory array of app credentials that is kept in memory while the underlying uWS Server process is running. Whenever a connection is made or an event is broadcast, the app credentials will be verified against these in-memory credentials.
By default, default values are defined for the app ID, key, and secret for ease of installation and development. However, you should change these credentials before launching your application in production.
For rate limits and max connections options, setting the variable value to -1 will disable the rate limits and / or max allowed connections.

App-level Limits
The array driver does not support setting limits at the app-level variables using environment variables. However, you can use configuration files to set limits for your apps:
1
{
2
 "appManager.array.apps": [
3
 {
4
 "id": "app-id",
5
 "key": "app-key",
6
 "secret": "app-secret",
7
 "enabled": true,
8
 "enableClientMessages": true,
9
 "webhooks": [],
10
 "maxBackendEventsPerSecond": -1,
11
 "maxClientEventsPerSecond": -1,
12
 "maxReadRequestsPerSecond": -1,
13
 "maxPresenceMembersPerChannel": 100,
14
 "maxPresenceMemberSizeInKb": 2,
15
 "maxChannelNameLength": 200,
16
 "maxEventChannelsAtOnce": 10,
17
 "maxEventNameLength": 100,
18
 "maxEventPayloadInKb": 4,
19
 "maxEventBatchSize": 10
