Month: 2025-12 | Focused on delivering observability improvements for WebSocket connections in snyk/broker. Delivered a new metric to capture websocket close reasons and wired it into the connection lifecycle to increment on various close events, significantly enhancing visibility into websocket behavior. The change enables faster incident response and data-driven capacity planning by correlating close events with client conditions and server state. No major regressions expected; primary impact is improved reliability and debugging through instrumentation.

November 2025 monthly summary for snyk/broker focusing on reliability, observability, and test coverage for networking features. Delivered two key features: HTTP request validation and WebSocket duration logging; fixed key metadata handling issues; and strengthened test infrastructure and formatting for maintainability.
