Disconnect Handling

Every distributed system will experience occasional disconnections between one or more nodes. The reliability of the overall system depends on an application's ability to efficiently detect and recover from these disconnections. Using the AMPS JavaScript client's disconnect handling, you can build powerful applications that are resilient in the face of connection failures and spurious disconnects. For additional reliability, you can also use the high availability functionality (discussed in the following sections), which provides both disconnect handling and features to help ensure that messages are reliably delivered.
