[Backend] Robust WebSocket Reconnection Strategy with Exponential Backoff

[Osuochasam]

Context: Network interruptions between the client and the server.ts WebSocket server are inevitable. Rapid, unthrottled reconnection attempts can overwhelm the server.

Tasks:

Implement an exponential backoff algorithm for the client-side socket reconnection logic.

Add jitter to the backoff calculation to prevent the "thundering herd" problem if the server restarts

Good day Maintainer!!

I would like to work on this issue.

Experience:
I have experience with React, TypeScript, WebSocket communication, real-time applications, and resilient connection management. I have implemented reconnection strategies, exponential backoff mechanisms, and fault-tolerant networking patterns in production systems.

Implementation:
I will implement an exponential backoff reconnection strategy for the client-side WebSocket logic, including randomized jitter to prevent thundering herd effects during server outages or restarts. The solution will be configurable, efficient, and thoroughly tested to ensure stable reconnection behavior under network interruptions.

Delivery:
I can complete the implementation, testing, and documentation within 3–5 hours.
