It is my understanding that I must enable sticky sessions in order for Socket.io to work in a multiple server/node (scaled) setup. Is this done by default in App Platform? If not, how might I go about including an Apache or Nginx or similar code snippet that would enable such functionality?

Heya,
As of now, DigitalOcean App Platform does not support sticky sessions. Because of this, running a service across multiple instances that relies on sticky sessions — like a Socket.IO server — may deliver unexpected results.
For more information, you can refer to this DigitalOcean documentation: DigitalOcean App Platform Docs.
Hope that this helps!
