As previously answered here: Redis pub sub max subscribers and publishers

There is no hard limit in Redis on maximum number of channels; it is user configurable.

In order to find the maximum number of channels for your realtime requirement, you need to perform latency profiling and find a agreement on [ number of channels vs your desired latency] . It would be not wise to go with maximum number of channels from intuition as it might not provide fruitful result for your requirement.

Here is a small discussion on redis channels/latency profiling.

Additionally, apart from above you have following two choices to improve performance if required, those are

  • Redis Clusters
  • Applying Redis logical databases

It totally depends on your server configuration.

A part from number of channel there are other things to consider like number of concurrent socket connection through client browser.
