Demonstrates real-time chat, whisper events for typing indicators, presence channels for online status, Pusher Channels protocol compatibility, horizontal scaling across Reverb instances, Forge deployment toggles and Pulse monitoring. Code shows broadcasting events implemented with ShouldBroadcast, messages persisted to DB, and the demo works live with low-latency updates.
