Socket IO Server to Server

Question

Is it possible for a server to connect to another using Socket.IO and be treated like a client?

And have it join rooms, recieve io.sockets.in(\'lobby\').emit(). And

Answer 1

I had the same problem, but instead to use socket.io-client I decided to use a more simple approach (at least for me) using redis pub/sub, the result is pretty simple.

You can take a look at my solution here: https://github.com/alissonperez/scalable-socket-io-server

With this solution you can have how much process/servers you want (using auto-scaling solution), you just use redis as a way to forward your messages between your servers.
