I had tried standalone builds, I found out that websockets have some issues. I am not able to understand why doesn't websockets doesn't work in standalone builds.
I get that it creates a node server with only a index.js / server.js file that is directly executed using node index.js/server.js command.

let's say we create a chat app.
which contains websockets integration and other required apis.
In nextjss, on can integration that too for the same purpose.
I wanted to make sure that the build consumes less space, was trying to use standalone build
Somehow I don't know what happended, websockets tend to not work for that type of build
I am not able to understand what is the issue

the command goes as node server.js
import type { NextConfig } from 'next';

const nextConfig: NextConfig = {
  experimental: {
    turbopackFileSystemCacheForDev: true,
  },
  output: 'standalone',
};

export default nextConfig;
the config file
