Socketidio is part of the Testributor open source Continuous Integration platform. It is a Node.js application that serves as a very lightweight push notification mechanism for the Katana server component. It uses the socket.io library as the event publishing engine and Redis as an information bridge for communicating server and user generated events to the socket.io channels. This system provides the necessary infrastructure for updating the Katana GUI asynchronously and in an event-driven fashion.
