Baasil.io manages your real-time infrastructure for you without compromising on flexibility. We provide you with a highly scalable, open source boilerplate (SCC) which you can modify as you like and then deploy to your own Kubernetes environment/cluster using a single command. The boilerplate we provide is designed to scale seamlessly across up to 1000 machines/hosts.
For the standard plan, Baasil.io gives you an isolated environment on a shared Rancher control panel. This setup is ideal if you have a relatively small number of machines (e.g. 1 to 20 hosts in your cluster) and are happy to look after your cluster using Rancher. If you would like to support more than 20 machines, want a completely hands-off experience when it comes to your infrastructure, or want your own dedicated Rancher control panel - We can make it happen with our flexible enterprise plan. If you would like to upgrade to the enterprise plan, you can contact us here.
GitHub account: {{gitHubAccountName}}
You need to link your Baasil.io account to a valid GitHub account here before you can create your Rancher environment/cluster.

Try SocketCluster now!
You can try SocketCluster right now in your developer console! Just press Ctrl + Shift + J (or Cmd + Shift + J on OSX) to bring up the console then copy the first snippet of code under 'Service Keys' below to connect. This guide is designed to give you an idea of how the client-side part of SocketCluster/SCC works. When running SCC on Kubernetes, you will also be able to modify backend code as you like.
Quick include script
<script src="https://baasil.io/socketcluster.js"></script>
Note that you can connect to Baasil.io using any official SocketCluster client v4.x.x.
Github: socketcluster-client
Service Key
Note that this key should be kept secret. This is for demo purposes only - Do not use this key on the client-side in production.
-
{{serviceKey}}var socket = socketCluster.connect({ query: { serviceKey: '{{serviceKey}}' }, channelPrefix: '{{serviceKey}}#', hostname: {{hostname}}, port: {{port}}, secure: {{secure}} });
Basic operations
Subscribe
var myChannel = socket.subscribe('my-channel-name');
Watch
myChannel.watch(function (data) {
// Handle incoming channel data here. You can set up multiple watchers per channel.
console.log('myChannel data:', data);
});
Unwatch
// The handler argument is optional (a function) - If not provided, it will unbind all watchers. myChannel.unwatch(handler);
Publish
myChannel.publish({foo: 'This is some JSON data'}, function (err) {
// Callback to indicate whether or not publish was successful.
});
Unsubscribe
myChannel.unsubscribe();
Check channel subscription state
myChannel.state // Can be 'unsubscribed', 'subscribed' or 'pending'
Check socket connection state
socket.state // Can be 'open', 'connecting' or 'closed'
Other useful operations...
Get array of watchers
// Get array of functions which are watching that channel. myChannel.watchers();
Subscribe again...
// Subscribe to a channel which was previously unsubscribed. myChannel.subscribe();
Get channel reference from socket
// This will not create any new subscriptions - Just get a channel reference.
var myChannel = socket.channel('my-channel-name');
Get list of all subscribed channels
// Returns an array of channel names which are currently subscribed.
// If the second argument is true, it will include channels which are pending subscription.
socket.subscriptions('my-channel-name', true);

You can find our detailed step-by-step guides for Baasil.io here.
Note that we have just launched recently and so our testing has been limited to Linux (Ubuntu) and so we cannot currently guarantee that our guides will be complete for non-UNIX platforms like Windows - You may have to do some additional steps to get kubectl and docker commands working on your local machine.
We are always working to simplify the setup process for Baasil.io and improve documentation so if you have any feedback or recommendations, please let us know by getting in touch with us here.

You can connect to Baasil using a standard open-source SocketCluster client using this code:
...
The docs for the SocketCluster client are here:
- socketcluster-client - A factory to create new SCSocket objects
- SCSocket - Socket object which you use to interface with Baasil
You can easily switch between using Baasil and your own self-hosted SocketCluster server (http://socketcluster.io) without having to change any code on your frontend.
Deploy your own SocketCluster backend
Note that we are currently in public beta. Sign up and start deploying! First month is free.
Baasil.io allows you to easily deploy real-time applications to a Kubernetes cluster running on your own infrastructure (with special support for Amazon EC2). As part of our Standard plan, we provide you with a Rancher control panel which you can use to deploy your app/game to your own infrastructure. With our Flexible plan, you can allow our team to manage as little or as much of your infrastructure as you like; we can set you up on your own infrastructure or on our AWS infrastructure. We can even help you structure and/or write your app's backend code for you.
Our recommended stack is SCC (SocketCluster) - It runs entirely inside Docker containers and provides you with a foundation to build highly scalable real-time apps - It's a cloud-native stack which you can customize or extend with your own code and/or additional Docker containers.
SCC is designed from the ground up to run and scale on Kubernetes - Scaling up and down across your Kubernetes cluster is simply a matter of running a kubectl scale command from your local machine (or you can just as easily set it to autoscale).
That said, if you're on our Flexible plan, we can manage all this for you.
We offer both generic plans and custom solutions for projects of all sizes. If your project is particularly large or you have special requirements, don't hesitate to contact us.
Check out the docs http://docs.baasil.io for more info.
Why do I need Baasil.io?
Traditional Backend-as-a-Service (BaaS) and SaaS platforms are double-edged swords; on one hand, they free you from having to manage infrastructure, on the other hand, they prevent you from adding your own code on the backend. Some providers will claim that you can build 'entire apps' using only their platforms - In practice this is rarely true; there is almost always a point when you want to start adding custom (sensitive) business logic on the backend.
Baasil.io is just a management layer which sits between you and your own Kubernetes cluster (running on your own infrastructure). It does all the hard work of creating new machines and deploying and scaling your app/service across your cluster.
Why not just run and manage my own Kubernetes cluster directly?
Setting up and configuring your own Kubernetes cluster to run real-time apps/services can be a lot of work. Assuming that you succeed in setting it up correctly, Kubernetes will automate some aspects of your app's operations, but what happens if/when something goes wrong? Where will you get support? Baasil.io is not just a hosting platform - We are also a community of developers who are experts at building and deploying real-time apps on Kubernetes. We have probably encountered your problem before and we can give you the best possible support.
Will my company be locked into Baasil.io?
No. Baasil.io is just a management layer which sits in front of your own Kubernetes cluster (running on your own infrastructure). You can unsubscribe from Baasil.io at any time and hook up your Kubernetes cluster to your own DevOps system. All the code in our stack is open source (MIT) so you never have to worry about license issues. We rely purely on technical support, consulting, community benefits and low prices to keep you using our platform.
