Nuxt/Nitro websocket horizontal scaling
I have looked at the new experimental websocket's and I'm wondering how this would work when horizontally scaling. With something like socket.io, you need to use an adapter. How does Nuxt/Nitro handle this?

Hi @TheConsoleGardenMG. I'm kapa.ai, your friendly support bot. I will try to answer your question by searching through the knowledge base. :wave:

Based on the knowledge sources provided, there isn't enough specific information about how Nuxt/Nitro handles WebSocket horizontal scaling or if it provides a built-in solution similar to Socket.io adapters. The experimental WebSocket support in Nuxt/Nitro is mentioned, but details about scaling are not addressed in the given documents.
However, I can provide some general information about the WebSocket support in Nuxt:
1. WebSocket support in Nuxt is currently experimental and available through the Nitro server engine, as mentioned in the H3 WebSockets documentation.
2. Nuxt uses CrossWS, a runtime-agnostic WebSocket API, for its WebSocket implementation, as stated in the same document.
3. The WebSocket support is available across different deployment environments, including Node.js, Cloudflare Workers, and Deno, as evidenced by the adapter documentation for these platforms.
For horizontal scaling concerns, you might need to consider additional infrastructure or implement a custom solution, as the provided information doesn't cover this specific use case. It's possible that you may need to use a separate message broker or a distributed system to handle WebSocket connections across multiple instances, similar to how Socket.io adapters work.
If you need more specific information about horizontal scaling with Nuxt's WebSocket implementation, I recommend checking the official Nuxt documentation or reaching out to the Nuxt community for the most up-to-date information on this experimental feature.
