Will a websocket connection keep my node server awake?

Glitch Help

If I start a websocket connection with my server on glitch do I have to keep pinging the server in order to keep it from sleeping? or does it stay awake until the websocket connection is closed.

In other words does sending messages to and from an open websocket channel count as “activity” and thus the server doesn’t sleep?

You will not need that, the project keeps awake as long as you have the project opened, I think.
