What about websockets? This is very similar to subscription webhooks, but also different. Websockets have been gaining in popularity due to easy of use and implementation and low overhead. Plus, a typical server can hold open thousands of connections since many might just be waiting for an event to send/receive.
- capkutay 13y agoThis. After doing my initial skim of the article, the first thing I noticed was they omitted sockets. I always thought sockets were the standard for streaming, real-time communication over the web and would at least be mentioned in a post like this.
- denizozger 13y agoAgreed. With current browser support (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/WebSocket#Browser_support http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/WebSocket#Browser_support) and fallback libraries (like http://socket.io/ http://socket.io/), I believe WebSockets are usually the best choice when it comes to real time communications.
