express-io-pubsub
Advanced tools
Express server connects to either a MongoDB capped collection or publishes to a Redis channel. This is accomplished through simple middleware making request.publish(room, event, data) available
Socket.io server connects to the same collection or subscribes to a Redis channel. This is done through a listen command, and then the client can join the room/channel to listen to.
