websocket-hub-patterns

To scale WebSocket connections across multiple instances, use Redis for coordination. This pattern implements a connection registry and lazy subscriptions, enabling real-time bidirectional communication to route messages reliably regardless of the target server instance.

Handling real-time chat application scaling with Redis involves using a distributed connection registry. This ensures thousands of simultaneous users receive reliable message delivery by coordinating WebSocket hubs across multiple gateway instances.

You need lazy subscriptions for your distributed WebSocket gateway to optimize Redis usage. By subscribing to channels only when local clients are active, you reduce unnecessary message routing and overhead across your server instances.

Yes, you can ensure graceful shutdown for WebSocket connections in a distributed system. The pattern provides proper cleanup of active connections and Redis subscriptions during application termination, preventing dropped messages and orphaned resources.

Yes, this WebSocket scaling pattern works for collaborative editing and live dashboards. It supports real-time bidirectional communication systems requiring multi-instance gateway scaling to maintain synchronized state across distributed clients.
