Somebody know how to create hybrid scalable connection using REST and Socket.io?
I need realtime flow data (socket) and fast speed request (rest). I trying build core in nodejs with expressjs and socket.io with mysql (google cloud), redis (in local virtual network), ~3instances and +1vps as loadballancer (haproxy).
This is crazy? :D
P.S. Project open-source :)

Good luck to scale with WebSocket. Its a hard work. Either you will share id of the Node.js worker etiher you will block on the sticky session param.
Give a try to fanout.io
Cheers !
