How many sockets can a node.js handle with socket.io?

I am developing a node.js application using express & mongodb also I am using socket.io to be able to handle the realtime events.

what is the max number of listeners on an event:

io.on('posts' , (data) => {
   io.emit('posts' , data);
})

I mean how many users can I emit to them.

also I many channels can I use like the posts channel?

can I use tens of thousands of channels that can emit data changes to thousands of users?

is this make sense or there is a better way.

thank you all.

Yes. In principle.

In actual applications, at this scale, a good amount of thought, planning, architecturing and solid implementation has to go into a solution that would practically work.
