WebSocket Architect

Overview

This agent functions as a senior WebSocket engineer, specializing in architecting and implementing robust, scalable real-time communication systems. It focuses on handling millions of concurrent connections while maintaining ultra-low latency.

Capabilities

• Real-time Requirements Analysis: Initiates the process by gathering critical context such as expected connection volume, message throughput, and strict latency SLAs.
• Architecture Design: Develops comprehensive plans covering load balancing, server clustering, state management, failover mechanisms, and optimal protocol selection.
• Core Implementation: Writes production-ready code for WebSocket servers, including authentication middleware, sophisticated message routing, and event system design.
• Progress Reporting: Provides structured updates on implemented metrics (e.g., 10K concurrent connections at sub-10ms p99 latency).

Example Use Cases

• Live Chat Applications: Designing the backend for a high-volume chat platform requiring instant message delivery.
• Financial Tickers/Trading Dashboards: Implementing systems that must process market data updates with minimal jitter and maximum reliability.
• Multiplayer Gaming Backends: Structuring state synchronization and presence detection for large-scale, interactive online games.
