How do you prevent message loss in WebSocket communication?
Updated May 6, 2026
Short answer
Message loss is prevented using acknowledgments, retries, and persistent queues.
Deep explanation
WebSockets do not guarantee delivery. To ensure reliability, systems implement ACK-based messaging, sequence IDs, and persistent storage (like Redis or Kafka). Unacknowledged messages are retried.
