README

In this example we show how to connect several Centrifuge server nodes with Redis engine.

To start install dependencies first:

dep ensure

Then start 2 Redis servers locally:

redis-server --port 6379

And another one on port 6380:

redis-server --port 6380

Then start 2 instances of this app on different ports:

go run main.go -port 8000

And:

go run main.go -port 8001

Then go to http://localhost:8000 and to http://localhost:8001 in another browser tab. You will see simple chat app in both browser tabs, try writing a chat message in one browser tab and you should see it appears in another tab.

This example uses two Redis instances so published messages will be automatically sharded among them. But we could use just one Redis instance.
