For OpenShift as a PaaS provider, WebSockets were a big challenge. The routing layer that sits between the user's browser and your application must be able to route and handle WebSockets. OpenShift uses Apache as a reverse proxy server and a main component to route requests throughout the platform. However, Apache's mod_proxy has been problematic with WebSockets, so OpenShift implemented a new Node.js based routing layer that provides scalability and the possibility to expand features provided to our users.
