Web App to idle hundreds of accounts?

[aaa]

I'm not sure if this is the right place to ask but for the past few weeks I've been trying to create an hourboosting service like freehourboost.com and stidler.com as a hobby project, but I'm not sure what I am doing is very effective.

Basically right now I have a single node server as the backend with react on the front, making them interact with socket.io. The node server has a single object that are filled up with instances of the SteamUser class but I don't know how efficient this will be when running hundreds of idles.

My question would be how should I handle hundreds of idles at once? I see stidler.com has 5+ idle servers, is that possible when using sockets? and if so how would I go about doing it?

You could make a seperate server for x amount of SteamUsers and use http requests to communicate with the main server.

When using web sockets I'm assuming I should connect multiple sockets across servers and not http requests, right?

If you wish to use websockets, socket.io-client allows you to connect to another http server that's using socket.io.

const io = require('socket.io-client');
const socket = io.connect('localhost:8080', {
	reconnect: true
});

socket.on('connect', (socket) => { 
    console.log('Connected to server!');
});

I hope this helps!
