The Socket.IO cluster adapter, allowing to broadcast events between several Socket.IO servers
The @socket.io/cluster-adapter
package allows broadcasting packets between multiple Socket.IO servers.
It can be used in conjunction with @socket.io/sticky
to broadcast packets between the workers of the same Node.js cluster.
