Description
We hooked up our WebSocket server to broadcast live trades. However, if TradeFlow goes viral tomorrow and we have to spin up 5 different backend servers to handle the load, a user connected to Server A won't see a trade processed by Server B.
We need to implement Redis Pub/Sub (Publish/Subscribe).
When any backend node processes a trade, it publishes it to a Redis channel. All other nodes subscribe to that channel and forward the message to their connected WebSocket clients.
This is the industry standard for scaling real-time Web3 infrastructure.
