Not working with socket.io-redis-emitter

[dzeroone]

I have tried to emit from a cronjob, but it's not reaching the client!

Yes, the Redis emitter is meant to be used with the classic Redis adapter, we will have to implement a custom emitter publishing to the Redis streams.

Is this something that is planned?

Are there any significant drawbacks of just creating a dummy socket.io server with the redis-streams-adapter configured and using emit on that server instance to send events from background processes (like the cron job mentioned in the original post)?

I've tested this locally both with the old redis-adapter and this redis-streams-adapter and as far as I can see it works well; no need to call listen(...) or anything, just create a server instance and emit 🤷 Seems too good to be true! Is it?

Hi @darrachequesne, is there any alternative to use the adapter/emitter pattern with this stream library? I would like to be able to have connection status retrieval and also a emitter for other micro-services (or event sources).
