Low-Level WebSocket Framing & Architecture
Implemented custom WebSocket connection handling with binary framing, automatic reconnection exponential backoff, and heartbeat health checks to maintain rock-solid persistent sockets.
Horizontal Scaling with Redis Pub/Sub
Scaled WebSocket connections across multi-instance Node.js clusters using Redis Pub/Sub adapters, ensuring instant message propagation regardless of which cluster node clients are connected to.
Real-Time Code Sync & Syntax Highlighting
Engineered collaborative code editors with conflict-free replicated data structures (CRDT), multi-cursor awareness, and instantaneous syntax evaluation.
