### Where should websockets and other persistent connections live?

It is highly recommended to put any kind of persistent connection into middleware. Which should intercept needed actions and also handle any complex logic or [side effects](/faq/actions#actions-side-effects) it may produce. It is also possible to put persistent connections into the store state, but you should be aware that it may cause some [issues](/faq/organizing-state#organizing-state-non-serializable).
