WebSocket Server Stability & Debugging Enhancements
What developments have taken place today?
Today’s commits focus on enhancing WebSocket server stability, reliability, and debugging capabilities across several areas: error handling, connection management, logging, and test statistics tracking. Specifically, there were updates to handle errors gracefully during message sending, implement a context cancellation mechanism for user connections, improve the Redis-based logging system, and add a file identifier to channel creation. The code also incorporates a new RawConnection struct for comprehensive WebSocket connection tracking, along with improved error handling within the UserConnection goroutine. Further enhancements include updating API controllers to utilize a registry for external services, improving database interaction through query adjustments and logging, and adding resource monitoring and plotting functionality to the WebSocket stress test. Finally, there were updates to the repository package for consistent logging, and an overall effort to improve debuggability by including more informative log messages throughout the codebase.
Summary: These changes collectively increase server resilience, provide detailed debugging information, and introduce a more sophisticated system for managing channel files, ultimately leading to improved stability and maintainability of the WebSocket backend services.
