It's not at all clear what you're asking. – jfriend00 Oct 08 '17 at 18:17

Please edit your question to clearly ask exactly that. It depends upon your server OS, configuration, hardware, network and traffic profile, but there are socket.io configurations that support tens of thousands of connections so 100 should be easy. – jfriend00 Oct 08 '17 at 18:57

OS and hardware recommendations are off-topic for stack overflow. There are probably other hardware-focused stacks in the stackexchange family where that would be appropriate. – jfriend00 Oct 09 '17 at 13:36
