Should applications be split into node and socket.io?

Question

Node.js

Hello!

At the moment, the main application on node has a bunch of its work with postgresql, and here you need to add socket.io for notifications, chats, and more (the volume will be decent).

The question is: is it worth it to separate the socket from the main application? I'm afraid that sooner or later it will start to slow down.

I would be very grateful for your help!

An architecture with a central database and consumers is very common.
If your applications will not depend on each other, then feel free to take them out into separate parts.
