Summary

Socket.IO and Redis are powerful tools. We have barely scratched the surface of what can be achieved with them. We will revisit Redis and Socket.IO in the following chapters of this book as Redis is also used to scale Express sessions and the Socket.IOs Pub/Sub mechanism.

The next chapter will focus on securing our application when we implement an authentication strategy via GitHub, using Passport, and add SSL support.
