JSI Sockets vs JS WebSockets in Client Sprints

Not financial advice. Verify claims independently.

How we choose socket stacks under fixed scope — profiling first, fashion never.

Default remains JS WebSockets for Expo-friendly clients. We introduce JSI/Nitro sockets only after a profile shows the bridge as the cliff and the client accepts native upgrade risk in writing.

Work orders list the socket choice. Silent swaps mid-sprint are how trust dies.

Our flagship case study is Stock Picks — paper trading loops, quote fanout, and fixed-scope sprints.
