Description

It seems Valkey is becoming a popular alternative to Redis. Are there any plans on providing an official Valkey adapter for Socket.io? Preferably based on streams, since that is more reliable and seems to be the recommended adapter when using Redis.

Research direction

Start by locating Socket.IO's existing Redis adapter and its streams-based implementation, then compare the compatibility requirements for Valkey. Done means an official Valkey adapter is defined and implemented with the requested streams approach, with its behavior validated against the project's adapter tests.
