whats the url of deployed socket.io server
i have a nodejs socket.io server
idk the url to my websocket server
in nodejs I do
const io = new Server(1001, { cors: { origin: ["https://deployedclient.vercel.app", "http://localhost:3000"] } })
and client knows that the websocket is hosted on localhost:1001
but in deployed server, the domain of the server would be something like deployedserver.com but client cant connect to deployedserver.com:10015 Replies
You can't do websockets on Vercel. The backend there is made of Lambdas. Meaning a new Server is spun up when you make an api request, and more are started when traffic gets too hig
After it's done doing it's job it closes
Meaning it cannot be stateful, and sockets are stateful...
For that you need to deploy somewhere else or use some service, like Pusher - socket SAAS
Theo has a video where he uses pusher in one of his apps but idk which one it was

The answer is fairly simple
if your socket is deployed on
deployedserver.com then you should not use a port at the end and just use the url
but if it's running on another port except 80 witch this url refers to in the server you should use nginx to create another server block to host your socket application
if you want to deploy your socket in a url
create a new subdomain, for example in my case i did : socket.example.com
and then i created a new nginx config in my server to reverse proxy to the localhost:4000 (my socket app is running in this port)
