    No, you don’t need any support for Node.js to run the Laravel Reverb package since this package is built entirely on PHP and Laravel components.

    Of course, you can still build a chat application where your WebSocket server is written in Node.js, but in the case of Laravel Reverb, you don’t need Node.js at all for the realtime part.
