Netlify launches long-running Server, demos multiplayer live board Live Rooms
thisiskp_ · x · 2026-11-12
Netlify introduced Netlify Server, a new long-running server for app backends, and demonstrated it with Live Rooms — a collaborative board where multiple people move notes in the same room simultaneously. The server holds a WebSocket open with everyone present. The demo also lets you simulate going offline or crashing the instance to show durable state and seamless reconnection without losing changes.
