Does App Router API Route.ts has no sockets?

[benyaminl]

Hello, I have a simple question, is it possible to implement socket with App Router Api Route.ts?

I'm quite frustated with app router api route, after I'm spending a lot of time, then I'm realize that I tried to use pages/* approach into app router approach, which is seems have different way of serving to client.

Based on this seems sockets only works on Pages route, but not App route.

Any pointer or help appreciated.

Just for more information, for now I'm not using any external services, and I want to keep it in nextjs stack rather than spin up more services and host the web sockets.

So Any help is appreciated. Thank you
