Proposed changes (including videos or screenshots)
Stream Cast uses a different approach to broadcast data to the instances, it uses the DDP subscription method that requires a collection on the other side, if no collection exists with the given name
broadcast-streamit caches in memory waiting for the collection to be set later. The cache is cleared only when a reconnection happens.This PR overrides the function that processes the data for that specific connection, preventing the cache and everything else to be processed since we already have our low-level listener to process the data.
More info
Bellow an example of the memory usage of a deployment using the normal matrix event broadcast among instances during the first 9 days and then using the Stream Cast to broadcast events during the last 5 days (with a restart every day due to the memory usage).
