WebSocket Intelligence

Advanced WebSocket Management

The WebSocket system provides enterprise-grade real-time communication with automatic reconnection, heartbeat monitoring, and intelligent message routing.

WebSocket Features: * Auto-Reconnection: Automatic reconnection with exponential backoff * Heartbeat Monitoring: Keep-alive mechanisms for connection health * Message Queuing: Intelligent queuing during disconnections * Room Management: Multi-room support for organized communication * Binary Support: Efficient binary data transmission * Compression: Automatic message compression for bandwidth optimization

Quick Start: WebSocket Streaming

    reconnect_interval=5,
    max_reconnect_attempts=10,
    heartbeat_interval=30,
    compression="gzip"
)

# Create streaming client
client = StreamingClient(config)

# Define message handlers
@client.on_message("agent_response")
async def handle_agent_response(data):
    """Handle streaming agent responses."""
    print(f"Agent: {data['agent_id']}")
    print(f"Response: {data['content']}")

    """Handle real-time analysis updates."""
    if data['confidence'] > 0.8:
