Best Practices
Connection Management
- Implement connection retry logic with exponential backoff
- Handle connection drops gracefully
- Monitor connection health and reestablish when needed
- Use appropriate heartbeat intervals
Message Handling
- Process messages asynchronously to avoid blocking
- Implement message buffering for high-volume streams
- Handle message ordering and deduplication
- Monitor message processing performance
Error Recovery
- Implement automatic reconnection on connection loss
- Handle subscription failures gracefully
- Monitor error rates and patterns
- Implement circuit breaker patterns
Performance Optimization
- Use appropriate message compression
- Implement batching for high-frequency updates
- Monitor WebSocket performance metrics
- Optimize message serialization/deserialization
