Presentation
Adam Malone (AMA) presented Drupal and Node.js: Push your site

Hi, I've just briefly read through server.js. It basically implements a publish/subscribe server, right?

I wonder if somebody has compared this custom Javascript code to what dedicated publish/subscribe servers might do out of the box. Particularly, I think of Redis and its pub/sub capabilities. Redis can do other things as well, like persistence and replication so it might be well worth looking at it not just as an alternative to Memcache.

Both of these engines may even be made swappable by standardizing on an API between Drupal and the pub/sub server.

Just my 2¢ on this fascinating new stuff.
