Description

Hello,
At our company we are aiming to achieve a high performance chat section of our mobile app. After some research and consideration I am personally considering using socketcluster over the traditional graphql server stack (apollo-server + subscriptions-transport-ws). However a good subscription system is a must to handle many connections and events. However I am not able to find any good resources how to integrate socketcluster with graphql subscriptions and I wonder if it can be plugged & played with the socketclusters pub/sub system since some important features like horizontal scaling is out of the box.

Not really an issue but more a question, feature request?

Thanks,

Ilija

Start by reviewing the existing pub/sub and subscription integration boundaries, then establish whether a supported integration is possible and document a concrete usage path or the missing capability.
