😇 Surely helpful for my talksy ( one of my project ) Interview which internally uses socket.io .

Please upload such more contents on socket.io .

Socket.io is better than web socket because many browser not support web socket in that condition the connection shift to long polling which help in make connections more reliable.

And also when we deploy it on platform like render it stops working after sometime because ( I don't know reason exactly behind it ) but yeah if we add feature like hearbit (ping pong method ) it help in making connections reliable.
