Load Testing · Senior · Question 59 of 76
After a deploy, all WebSocket clients reconnect at once. What should the test check?
- 1That clients never reconnect after a deploy
- 2That all clients reconnect within exactly the same second
- 3That the reconnect storm is spread by jitter and doesn't overload
Show the answer
Correct answer: That the reconnect storm is spread by jitter and doesn't overload
Explanation
Thousands of simultaneous reconnects with auth and state loading can be worse than peak traffic. Clients should use randomized backoff.
