I want to make an 'online chat module' for a supporting website. the project must be done by nodejs. so I want to use socket io library for this purpose. how many current users could the socket.io support? what type of os and hardware do you recommend? thank you.

- Please edit your question to clearly ask exactly that. It depends upon your server OS, configuration, hardware, network and traffic profile, but there are socket.io configurations that support tens of thousands of connections so 100 should be easy.jfriend00– jfriend002017-10-08 18:57:27 +00:00Commented Oct 8, 2017 at 18:57

- OS and hardware recommendations are off-topic for stack overflow. There are probably other hardware-focused stacks in the stackexchange family where that would be appropriate.jfriend00– jfriend002017-10-09 13:36:17 +00:00Commented Oct 9, 2017 at 13:36
