websocket-client-resilience

WebSocket disconnects on mobile networks can be prevented by applying mobile-aware timeouts and heartbeat hysteresis to tolerate transient network blips. This approach avoids premature disconnects and maintains long-lived client connections.

The best way to handle WebSocket reconnection is using backoff with jitter to stagger retry attempts. A circuit breaker should also be implemented to pause reconnection after repeated failures, preventing server overload.

Missing events in a WebSocket stream are detected using sequence gap tracking. By monitoring sequence numbers, the client can identify gaps and automatically resync to recover any lost messages.

Unacknowledged messages are tracked using command acknowledgment tracking to monitor server responses. This allows the client to surface or retry commands that the server has not acknowledged.

Yes, these WebSocket resilience patterns are designed with a framework-agnostic architecture and injectable clock. This allows integration into any mobile or web client maintaining long-lived connections.
