Does it include authentication logic?

No, it focuses on post-connection behavior. Authentication and authorization should be handled during the HTTP upgrade process before the WebSocket is accepted.

How does this handle message validation?

It implements a message contract discipline where messages are structured as JSON and can be typed using Pydantic models for automated validation.

What frameworks does this WebSocket skill support?

This skill is specifically designed for Python-based asynchronous frameworks, primarily FastAPI and Starlette.

Why is a Connection Manager necessary?

A Connection Manager provides a single source of truth for tracking sockets, making it easy to broadcast messages, manage room memberships, and ensure connections are cleaned up properly.

Does it support horizontal scaling across multiple servers?

The skill focuses on core patterns and local state management; horizontal scaling typically requires an additional pub/sub layer like Redis which is an intended upgrade path.

Desarrollo de API

Implements production-grade WebSocket patterns for Python applications using FastAPI and Starlette with robust connection management and message protocols.

Acerca de

This skill provides a comprehensive framework for building real-time, bidirectional communication features in Python web applications. It focuses on a production-grade approach, emphasizing explicit connection lifecycles, centralized state management via a Connection Manager, and structured message contracts. By abstracting the complexities of asynchronous receive loops and room-based routing, it enables developers to implement features like live chats, collaborative editing, and real-time dashboards while ensuring defensive error handling, memory safety, and predictable system behavior.
