socket-redis

socket-redis is a WebSocket pub/sub server and client that exposes an API over Redis, allowing applications to use WebSocket functionality via a Redis client. Version 3.3.0 is current; the package is stable with low release cadence (last release Jan 2023). It bridges SockJS clients to Redis channels, supporting multi-core via child processes. Key differentiator: no direct WebSocket library dependency—uses Redis as the message bus, enabling decoupled architectures.
