Real-Time Video Streaming with WebSockets in React Native
summary
Real implementation of WebSockets in a React Native app sends subscribe actions with userID and channelID, uses onopen/onmessage/onerror/onclose handlers to decode text and binary frames, and runs a Node.js on AWS backend; WebSockets handle low-latency signaling and live metadata (starter lists, ads, competitor C-points) while actual media stays offloaded, not streamed over WS. The system detects duplicate account termination, supports ~2,500 events yearly across 40+ countries and scales for multi-million user peaks without crashing.
