Just read your blog on building a real-time scalable chat app—thanks for sharing! The combination of Socket.io, Node.js, Redis, Kafka, MongoDB, and React is a powerful stack for handling scalability and real-time communication.
While analyzing, I came across this resource on WebSockets Server in Node.js with Socket.io: mobisoftinfotech.com/resources/blog/websockets-se… .

Looking forward to your thoughts—great read!
