Reflex state must live on rx.State or rx.ComponentState subclasses — plain Python variables are not reactive. Learn when to use shared state versus component-scoped state, and how to verify the behavior.
Socket.IO Rooms let you group sockets server-side and broadcast with io.to(room).emit(). They work out of the box but are in-memory per process, so scaling across instances requires an adapter like Redis. This covers joining, broadcasting, scaling, and verification.
SurrealDB’s native SUBSCRIBE command lets you push real‑time updates over WebSockets. Learn how to set up a filtered subscription, the trade‑offs involved, and a practical example that powers live dashboards.
Choose Turbo Drive for navigation, Frames for scoped updates, and Streams for real-time features. Each tool has distinct trade-offs around WebSocket requirements, update scope, and third-party script compatibility.
Learn how to architect WebSocket testing workflows in Hoppscotch, focusing on exponential backoff for reconnections, JSON schema validation, and managing memory backpressure.
A decision guide to tRPC client transports: when httpBatchLink is enough, when streaming or SSE subscriptions earn their place, and how to route both through one splitLink client.
Stop managing separate message brokers for real-time updates. Learn how SurrealDB's SUBSCRIBE feature pushes data changes directly to clients via WebSockets.
Learn how to diagnose and fix 'rubber-banding' and synchronization lag in Canva's real-time collaborative environment using WebSocket diagnostics and state reconciliation checks.
