description: >-
  Nakama delivers its real-time features over a persistent bidirectional socket rather
  than the REST API or classic outbound webhooks. Clients and server exchange a single
  `Envelope` message whose oneof payload selects one of the message types below. This
  is the provider's event/streaming surface. Derived from the published realtime.proto.

  Not a published AsyncAPI document; this is a faithful catalog derived from the
  server's realtime protobuf. Nakama also supports server-side notification delivery
  and Satori provides a separate LiveOps event/messaging surface.
