Definitely varies by the system, but, in my small-business internal-software experience, 99% of the time polling is good enough. Something feels innately ugly about polling, but it's simple, has failure modes that are easy to understand, and gets the job done.
- AstralStorm 10y agoEasy? How do you send anything in a pure pull architecture?
- JustSomeNobody 10y agoIn a pure push, how do you ask for data to be resent? There's trade-offs either way. No way is "best"; it all depends on what you're doing. I communicate with equipment over TCP, that I have to poll. There's _no_ mechanism for push. You just work with what you have and do the very best you can.
