Global Input App WebSocket Server

This is a WebSocket server that is used by Global Input App and the client applications to communicate with each other. Sine messages are secured using the end-to-end encryption, WebSocket servers can be installed on unsecured environments. Web applications can also use the WebSocket server to implement live streaming using WebRTC. This WebSocket server use the API Key to identify/authenticate incoming requests and is able to distribute them to multiple nodes to manage scalability without any additional service/components.
