title: Synchronization
description: Installation path for setups that synchronize Socialismus behavior across runtimes.
---

Use this path when you want Socialismus runtimes to exchange synchronized chat behavior through SocialismusRedis or SocialismusChannelizer.
This is the right path for environments where backend or proxy runtimes should no longer behave as isolated installs.

The detailed backend and proxy synchronization variants will be documented inside this section later.

## Scope

This guide covers synchronization-oriented installation for Socialismus.
It focuses on when and why synchronization should be enabled, and on the infrastructure modules that make it possible.

The exact synchronization provider choice and runtime-specific setup steps will be expanded later.

## What this path assumes

- more than one Socialismus runtime is involved, or one runtime must coordinate with another layer
- synchronized chat behavior is required
- SocialismusRedis or SocialismusChannelizer will be part of the environment
- you are ready to treat synchronization as part of the installation design instead of an afterthought

If you only need a simple single-runtime setup, use [Normal installation](../normal/index.mdx).
If you need separated proxy/backend chat roles without synchronized behavior first, use [Split installation](../split/index.mdx).
