Skip to main contentRelay provides real-time collaboration over WebSockets.
Treat Relay as the low-latency interaction surface: clients connect, establish session context, and
exchange collaboration operations and presence updates.
Responsibilities
- WebSocket session management
- Concurrent editing coordination (operational transform)
- Presence (cursor/selection) streaming
- Event-driven synchronization with the rest of the system
Interfaces
- WebSocket protocol: message shapes, handshake, and lifecycle
- Event consumption/production: integration with the broader event-driven system
Integration notes (baseline)
- Design clients to reconnect and resubscribe safely.
- Assume ordering guarantees are limited unless documented otherwise.
