First i'm a node.js begginer. I have a chat app which i created with socket.io the concept is i make a single unique room after 2 users are paired. but want to know if is it necessary for me to delete the room after the 2 members leave or i just let it.

I don't even know if the rooms are taking storage and how much..

some one help me understand please.

CodePudding user response：

Rooms are automatically created and deleted as users join and leave.

As for storage, socket.io doesn't use any storage during runtime, just memory. A single user or room shouldn't use any significant amount of memory.
