WebSocket Connection Dropped Unexpectedly
Real-time features using WebSocket connections drop unexpectedly. Client loses connection to server with no reconnection attempt. Users experience gaps in real-time updates or are suddenly disconnected.
Connection works initially but doesn't handle network interruptions or server resets gracefully.
Error Messages You Might See
WebSocket closed unexpectedly
Connection lost without reconnect
Real-time updates stop suddenly
Common Causes
- No heartbeat/ping-pong to keep connection alive
- No reconnection logic, drops permanently on disconnection
- Server timeout killing idle connections
- Network interruption not detected by client
- Large messages causing buffer overflow and disconnect
How to Fix It
Implement ping-pong heartbeat: server sends ping every 30s, client responds pong. Implement auto-reconnect with exponential backoff: 1s, 2s, 4s, etc. Set reasonable timeouts. Handle onclose event to trigger reconnect. Queue messages while disconnected, flush on reconnect. Monitor connection state in UI: show 'offline' badge when disconnected.

Caio Rodrigues
I'm a full-stack developer focused on building practical and scalable web applications. My main experience is with **React, TypeScript, and modern frontend architectures**, where I prioritize clean code, component reusability, and maintainable project structures.
I have strong experience working with **dynamic forms, state management (Redux / React Hook Form), and complex data-driven interfaces**. I enjoy solving real-world problems by turning ideas into reliable software that companies can actually use in their daily operations.
Beyond coding, I care about **software quality and architecture**, following best practices for componentization, code organization, and performance optimization.
I'm also comfortable working across the stack when needed, integrating APIs, handling business logic, and helping transform prototypes into production-ready systems.
My goal is always to deliver solutions that are **simple, efficient, and genuinely useful for the people using them.**

Cursor ambassador and agentic tooling builder.
I've scaled systems, automated deployments, and built observability tools for AI coding workflows. I specialize in taking vibe-coded apps from broken prototype to production-ready: fixing Supabase auth/RLS, Stripe integrations, deployment pipelines, and cleaning up AI-generated spaghetti.
I build tools in this space (agentprobe, claudebin, micode) and understand both sides: how AI generates code and why it breaks.

You don't need to be technical. Just describe what's wrong and a verified developer will handle the rest.
Get HelpFrequently Asked Questions
How to keep WebSocket alive?
Implement ping-pong. Server sends ping frame every 30s. Client responds pong. Resets timeout counter.
How to reconnect automatically?
onclose event triggers reconnect with exponential backoff: setTimeout(() => connect(), delay). Delay grows: 1s, 2s, 4s, etc.
Should messages be queued while offline?
Yes. Store in array while disconnected. On reconnect, flush queue: queue.forEach(msg => send(msg)).
