Sails apps come with redis store integration for socket.io commented out by default, checkout https://github.com/balderdashy/sails/blob/master/bin/boilerplates/config/sockets.js
In core (or config/sockets.js in a new app) for an example--- it's just passing the socket store config straight thru to socket io

Today we finished implementing Socket.io + Redis + Node Clusters +
Authentication (share express session). Everything went fine.
Now we will implement load balancer with stick sessions.

Hey,
Are you going to write a blog post about your setup and experiences? I'd be interested in reading it, I'm in the process of setting up a fairly small scale - internal only websocket "real-time" web application - and I'm interested in other peoples setup, though I'm going for Sockjs rather than socket.io

No one can chime in on this? I hear all these bad stories but
yet never hear anything on what to do about it.

Just listened to the nodeup podcast on websocket scaling (nice
work for those of you producing that, some of which I've seen on this
group).
Anyway the redis store is the supported way to scale socket.io
across processes, however, I keep hearing a lot of real world cautionary
tales that stem from it. Basically many people saying it simple has not
worked for them when it comes to scaling.
I'm in startup mode right now and have socket.io working very
well (using SSL) in terms of code stability. However, I am just starting
to look more closely at scaling the infrastructure further. I need to
support at least ten thousand concurrent connections initially, using a
lot of rooms, however it can be anticipated that there will fairly light
talk going over the wire most of the time (this is not a chat app that
could literally see tons of chatter across the wire). Obviously the
better things go the more concurrent connections will exist in the
future. My main interest in websockets has always been the light
overhead and most importantly the very quick, real time updates.
Anyway, is the redis store even usable in it's current form for
scaling really big? At present I'm using redis.io so hopefully they can
scale to meet my redis store demands but I'm pretty concerned when it
seems like so many have to fork their own socket.io implementation just
to scale it property.
Any help/advise/code etc to help would be really, really nice. I
would also love to really understand why the redis backend has been
problematic for others. I would switch to engine.io if I didn't want the
reconnection and room support (while I don't have rooms in the real
sense I do need to partition the communication which rooms provide).
I would REALLY appreciate any help from any of you who have
already been down this path (and might even be interested in some
consultation work if interested).
Lastly, I should mention that I've been playing with nodejitsu
and modulus as my hosting service. At this juncture I have no interest
in setting up my own infrastructure as I would rather rely on others
expertise.
