Workflow

1. Confirm workload shape, latency SLOs, and reliability requirements.
2. Choose transport strategy and proxy/load balancer behavior.
3. Implement connection and event-level security controls.
4. Define room/namespace topology and message contract conventions.
5. Establish delivery semantics (at-most-once vs stronger guarantees).
6. Select scaling adapter strategy and session affinity model.
7. Tune performance with measured data (not defaults-by-folklore).
8. Ship with test coverage, operations runbooks, and upgrade policy.
