What socket data exists within redis?

See original GitHub issue

I am currently storing data using socket.data.myCustomData and am able to retrieve the data properly between servers. However, I’m wondering if this data is stored in redis itself?

By that I mean,

Server 1 -> mySocket.data
Server 2
Server 3

If I kill Server 1, will Server 2 and Server 3 be able to access mySocket.data regardless of Server 1 and it’s memory/process?

but that requires getting the in-memory data from each server

Yes, that’s right 👍

In your example above, if server1 gets killed, the data is lost. Sorry for the confusion.
