Out of band work
Push something into a redis via PHP, and have node.js listen and react
5/15/2013 php|tek 2013
Pubsub
PHP and node.js connect to a redis channel
PHP publish something to the channel
node.js gets the message and reacts Really good for reacting to events,
but requires node.js to be listening

Work Queues
Same idea, but the work sits there until someone deals with it

Allows two-way communication from the browser to the server
Most browsers should support it Use socket.io to handle old browsers
