Why

Websockets are a powerful technology for enabling real-time bidirectional communication between clients and servers. However, traditional websocket implementations have limitations in terms of scalability and fault tolerance. An infinitely scalable websocket system would address these challenges by designing a system that can handle an infinite number of websocket connections, distribute connections across multiple servers for load balancing, and implement fault-tolerant mechanisms to ensure continuous operation. Security measures, monitoring tools, and integration with backend services would further enhance the functionality and reliability of the system.
