Frequently Asked Questions
WebSocket vs Socket.io - which to use?
Socket.io provides automatic fallbacks, reconnection, rooms, and broadcasting built-in. Pure WebSocket is lighter but requires manual implementation of these features. We recommend Socket.io for most applications.
How many concurrent users can it handle?
A single server can handle 10K-50K concurrent connections depending on message frequency. For larger scale, we implement Redis adapter and load balancing across multiple servers.
Can I use this with my REST API?
Yes! WebSocket servers work alongside REST APIs. We integrate authentication, share session data, and coordinate between HTTP and WebSocket endpoints seamlessly.
