Push it push it some more
summary
Shows a working push stack built with WebSockets + Node.js + socket.io, using Express.js for routing and Redis pub/sub as the backend message bus. Demo is a simple multiplayer “dance floor” that updates live (no Ajax refreshes); code is a few dozen lines and the claim is handling roughly 8–10k concurrent connections. socket.io falls back to flash or long polling for old browsers; mentions pusher.com as a hosted alternative.
