---# WebSocket Implementation
Build scalable real-time communication systems with proper connection management.
## Server Implementation (Socket.IO)
```javascript
const { Server } = require('socket.io');
const { createAdapter } = require('@socket.io/redis-adapter');
const { createClient } = require('redis');
const io = new Server(server, {
cors: { origin: process.env.CLIENT_URL, credentials: true }
});
// Redis adapter for horizontal scaling
const pubClient = createClient({ url: process.env.REDIS_URL });
const subClient = pubClient.duplicate();
Promise.all([pubClient.connect(), subClient.connect()]).then(() => {
io.adapter(createAdapter(pubClient, subClient));
});
// Connection management
const users = new Map();
io.use((socket, next) => {
const token = socket.handshake.auth.token;
