I am thinking about setting up multiple servers under a load balancer that will use PUSH with websockets. I will be using SSL, so for that reason I don't think I can use sticky sessions. So is there a way to easily scale an app that needs to be able to PUSH?

If you're using websockets, you'll stay connected to the same server the whole time (unless it goes down or something). – ceejayoz Jan 2 at 20:48
Yah... But what happens if a user is connected to another server? Imagine a user sends the data to server X how does the other servers like Y get to know the data was received so it can send it to the other user? – Jean-Nicolas Boulay Desjardins Jan 2 at 21:03
Generally, they'd all access the same database, or use a queue, or otherwise communicate amongst themselves. – ceejayoz Jan 2 at 21:39
