Reflex WebSocket State Delta Batching Limit
20.1K reputation · 13 Mar 2024, 21:14 UTC
Reflex synchronizes frontend UI state with a backend Python State class through a persistent websocket connection managed by FastAPI and Next.js. Event handlers modify backend state, triggering delta serialization and transmission to the browser, where updates trigger reactive re-renders.
The framework currently lacks a built-in configuration point to limit update frequency or batch multiple state changes into a single synchronization event, placing the optimization burden on application-level logic or external middleware. This design gap raises concerns about balancing real-time responsiveness with network efficiency, especially in applications involving high-frequency user input or real-time data streams.
- What configuration points exist for delta batching in the Reflex state sync pipeline?
- Can the websocket serialization be configured to prioritize critical state changes over high-frequency trivial updates?
- How does the framework handle concurrent state modifications from multiple event handlers without lost updates?
