<p><strong>Status</strong>: Accepted | Implemented
<strong>Date</strong>: 2024-11-01
<strong>Deciders</strong>: Frontend Architecture Team
<strong>Technical Story</strong>: Enabling real-time workflow progress updates to multiple clients</p>
<hr />
<h2 id="decision"><a class="header" href="#decision">Decision</a></h2>
<p>Implementar <strong>real-time WebSocket updates</strong> usando <code>tokio::sync::broadcast</code> para pub/sub de workflow progress.</p>
<hr />
<h2 id="rationale"><a class="header" href="#rationale">Rationale</a></h2>
<ol>
<li><strong>Real-Time UX</strong>: Usuarios ven cambios inmediatos (no polling)</li>
<li><strong>Broadcast Efficiency</strong>: <code>broadcast</code> channel permite fan-out a múltiples clientes</li>
<li><strong>No State Tracking</strong>: No mantener per-client state, channel maneja distribución</li>
<li><strong>Async-Native</strong>: <code>tokio::sync</code> integrado con Tokio runtime</li>
</ol>
<hr />
<h2 id="alternatives-considered"><a class="header" href="#alternatives-considered">Alternatives Considered</a></h2>
<h3 id="-http-long-polling"><a class="header" href="#-http-long-polling">❌ HTTP Long-Polling</a></h3>
<ul>
<li><strong>Pros</strong>: Simple, no WebSocket complexity</li>
<li><strong>Cons</strong>: High latency, resource-intensive</li>
</ul>
<h3 id="-server-sent-events-sse"><a class="header" href="#-server-sent-events-sse">❌ Server-Sent Events (SSE)</a></h3>
<ul>
<li><strong>Pros</strong>: HTTP-based, simpler than WebSocket</li>
<li><strong>Cons</strong>: Unidirectional only (server→client)</li>
</ul>
<h3 id="-websocket--broadcast-chosen"><a class="header" href="#-websocket--broadcast-chosen">✅ WebSocket + Broadcast (CHOSEN)</a></h3>
<ul>
<li>Bidirectional, low latency, efficient fan-out</li>
</ul>
<hr />
<h2 id="trade-offs"><a class="header" href="#trade-offs">Trade-offs</a></h2>
<p><strong>Pros</strong>:</p>
<ul>
<li>✅ Real-time updates (sub-100ms latency)</li>
<li>✅ Efficient broadcast (no per-client loops)</li>
<li>✅ Bidirectional communication</li>
<li>✅ Lower bandwidth than polling</li>
</ul>
<p><strong>Cons</strong>:</p>
<ul>
<li>⚠️ Connection state management complex</li>
<li>⚠️ Harder to scale beyond single server</li>
<li>⚠️ Client reconnection handling needed</li>
</ul>
