Basically, the number of connections open at the same time. If you write a chat app and 10 people are using it at the same time, that's 10 concurrent connections.

What does "concurrent connections" mean?
I was reading about websockets and how to use it in laravel in here: https://murze.be/introducing-laravel-websockets-an-easy-to-use-websocket-server-implemented-in-php
I find it hard to understand what does "concurrent connections" means ( maybe because of my english )..
Can someone explain this to me in a simple way?

So, as an example:
lets say I am using Pusher, and their free plan say you will have: 100 Max Connections 200k Messages / Day
Does it mean that I can handle only up to 100 users at the same time viewing the app ? And what do they mean by "200k Messages / Day"?

Yes, basically. Think of it like a group chat with 100 max users. Each thing that gets sent over the connection is a message. I say "hi", that's a message. You respond "hey", that's another message.
