WebSockets vs Server-Sent-Events vs Long-Polling vs WebRTC vs WebTransport | RxDB - JavaScript Database
For modern real-time web applications, the ability to send events from the server to the client is indispensable. This necessity has led to the development of several methods over the years, each with its own set of advantages and drawbacks. Initially, long-polling was the only option available. It was then succeeded by WebSockets, which offered a more robust solution for bidirectional communication. Following WebSockets, Server-Sent Events (SSE) provided a simpler method for one-way communicati...
