Socket.IO is a popular open-source library among JavaScript developers for building real-time web apps. In this session, we are going to explore what we mean by “real-time” web apps and how Socket.IO library can help web developers build them. Also, we discuss a common challenge among Socket.IO developers - scaling out to multiple Socket.IO servers. Through a quick demo, we showcase how easy it is to leverage the recently introduced support for Socket.IO on Azure to offload scalability issue to a cloud service.
