From laravel-echo-server to laravel-websockets to Laravel Reverb
This post traces the move from laravel-echo-server to laravel-websockets and then to Laravel Reverb for Laravel broadcasting. It covers what happened to each package after the original 2018 article, how Oh Dear runs its WebSocket setup today, and how the author would configure real-time broadcasting with Reverb in 2026.
