How to store ws connection to Redis

[StarMonk]

I am trying to store the ws connection of each user in REDIS, but whenever I stringify the ws I get an empty value stored in there.

Do we have the option to store ws connection in REDIS and Fetch and use them to send messages?

client.sAdd("user_id", JSON.stringify(ws), (err) => {
            if (err) {
                console.error(err);
            }
        });

I can't store ws directly as redis throw an encoder error, I am looking for an alternative to store them to REDIS for vertical scaling.

Store the ID

Do you mean ws.id that is created using upgrade here ?

Even if I store this ID, I still have to do wsMap and store it in Map on the server, so this doesn't make sense. Cause my ID comes from MySQL database and I already have one. But I don't have associated webSocket client for the id and when I was trying to store websocket client reference in REDIS, redis complained about the data type, I was storing, so I did JSON.stringify and found out it doesn't store in uWS.websocket format

How I am gonna send a request with that ID? Can you clarify, please?

Thanks

wsMap.get(id).send('message');

yup, so that would mean, I will have to maintain wsMap locally, and will have to scale horizontally mostly.
