WebSocket Connection Lifecycle in Mobile Apps
📰 Dev.to · SoftwareDevs mvpfactory.io
Deep dive into the often-misunderstood interaction between WebSocket ping/pong frames, TCP keep-alive timers, and mobile OS network state transitions (doze mode, app backgrounding). Covers building a deterministic reconnection state machine in Kotlin with exponential backoff, jitter, and message queue draining — with real latency numbers from production showing how naive implementations silently drop 3-8% of messages during network transitions.
