How do you design WebSocket retry and resilience strategies?
Updated May 6, 2026
Short answer
Retry strategies use exponential backoff, jitter, and failure detection for resilient reconnection.
Deep explanation
Resilient WebSocket systems implement retry logic with increasing delays (exponential backoff) and random jitter to avoid thundering herd problems. Combined with health checks, this ensures stable reconnections without overloading servers.
