Does this skill support both Socket.IO and native WebSockets?

Yes, it provides specialized guidance for Socket.IO, native 'ws', and high-performance libraries like uWebSockets.js based on your specific performance requirements.

Does it help with connection stability and management?

Yes, it enforces best practices for heartbeats (ping-pong), automatic reconnection logic with exponential backoff, and efficient connection cleanup to prevent memory leaks.

Can I use this for security-sensitive real-time applications?

Absolutely. The skill mandates strict connection authentication, JWT verification over WebSockets, and authorization patterns for all event handlers.

How does the skill handle horizontal scaling?

It implements horizontal scaling using Redis pub/sub adapters to sync messages across nodes and ensures proper sticky session configuration for load balancers.
