If you are going to use pusher you don't need laravel echo server. You just need laravel echo on the front end.
laravel echo server is a community driven Socket.IO server as Laravel does not include a Socket.IO server implementation.

Trying to implement puhser with my laravel app and thoroughly confused between the difference between Laravel echo and Laravel echo server. Also, do I need redis? All I need to make sure is my front ends (mobile and web) is in sync with my backend. Any help would be appreciated.
