Do you know what/how Firebase is doing the realtime updates? Websockets with fallback to flash?
- gsoltis 14y agoHi, I'm one of the Firebase engineers working on keeping clients connected. We use a mix of different methods to maintain a connection. We normally start with our custom long polling implementation and move to websockets when they are available. We do not currently make use of any flash sockets.
- daemon13 14y agoIs Firebase open source? It states so on the sites/GH pages, but could not find pointers to repo [after 2 circle through 5 different pages poiting to each other].
- nbashaw 14y agoI believe that's it but I'm not sure. I've emailed the firebase founder and he might be able to chime in here
