Using WebSockets for pub/sub means you lose Redis's multiplexing efficiency and will hit serious bottlenecks under load. What happens when you have 1000 concurrent subscribers all listening to the same channel?
Weird flex but okay. Have you benchmarked the throughput against Redis pipelining over a real TCP socket? WebSocket overhead alone will crush you under load.
