I just took a socket.io class on udemy, and in the last project he addresses how to build a node cluster with socket.io for horizontal scaling. That should cover as many connections as you'd possibly need.

Hey absolutely. Just did a small project with this re-creating Slack, and you’ll find the socket.io course here to cover half your needs: https://www.udemy.com/course/socketio-with-websockets-the-details/
As always, be sure you’re getting the $10-15 deal on Udemy.
As for Auth, it’s similar to how Auth is handled normally. I personally use a middleware in Express to check for authentication through a JWT, and socket.io has middleware capability baked into it as well. You can use that to check if the socket is authenticated and prevent connection if it isn’t. Login and signup, I just handle outside of real-time.
