Is it possible to serialize a WebSocket connection object and reuse it on another server?

I wanted to setup load balancing for my website and so when you request to the websocket address it will then route your connection to a WebSocket server with the most resources available at the current request time. My website is a chat website and updating the chat for other users with WebSockets isn't very hard if it's all running on one server.

Let's say User one sends a message to TestUser.

User has a connection ID of 120 and TestUser has the ID of 174, Now the server will look through the connections that match the user and get the ID then get the connection and then send the response to TestUser.

But if both users are on two different servers and I store their connections on a database in a serialized form and then get them to a variable, Can I still use that connection?

Do the connections contain some kind of authentication to send a message as a server? If not what could I try. I do not want to replace my load balancer with a single server.

Thanks!

NOTE: I listed Java and PHP as I use both languages for WebSockets for their own reasons, as I develop for other people based on what language they prefer, Which in my case mainly it's Java and PHP

Where and how is this Laravel kernel constructor called? [closed]

Where and how is this Laravel kernel constructor called? public fucntion __construct(Application $app, $Router $roouter) { } I have read the documentation and some online tutorial but I can find any clear explanation. I am learning Laravel and I am wondering where does this kernel constructor receives its arguments from. "POSTMOTERM" CLARIFICATION: Here is more clarity.I have checked the boostrap/app.php and it is only used for boostrapping the interfaces into the container class. What is not clear to me is where and how the Kernel class is instatiated and the arguments passed to the object calling the constructor.Something similar to; obj = new kernel(arg1,arg2) or, is the framework using some magic functions somewhere? Special gratitude to those who burn their eyeballs and brain cells on this trivia before it goes into a full blown menopause alias "MARKED AS DUPLICATE". To some of the itchy-finger keyboard warriors, a.k.a The mods,because I believe in th...

Confusion between commands.Bot and discord.Client | Which one should I use?

Whenever you look at YouTube tutorials or code from this website there is a real variation. Some developers use client = discord.Client(intents=intents) while the others use bot = commands.Bot(command_prefix="something", intents=intents) . Now I know slightly about the difference but I get errors from different places from my code when I use either of them and its confusing. Especially since there has a few changes over the years in discord.py it is hard to find the real difference. I tried sticking to discord.Client then I found that there are more features in commands.Bot . Then I found errors when using commands.Bot . An example of this is: When I try to use commands.Bot client = commands.Bot(command_prefix=">",intents=intents) async def load(): for filename in os.listdir("./Cogs"): if filename.endswith(".py"): client.load_extension(f"Cogs.{filename[:-3]}") The above doesnt giveany response from my Cogs ...
