Root Cause

Server-Sent Events reconnection failing.

generic

Workarounds

  1. 90% success Use Last-Event-ID header for resumable SSE connections
  2. 88% success Implement reconnection with exponential backoff

Dead Ends

Common approaches that don't work:

  1. Create new EventSource on every reconnect 72% fail

    Loses Last-Event-ID context

  2. Fall back to polling immediately 68% fail

    Higher load, no streaming benefits
