Communication | DevNotes

📄️ Overview

Communication techniques define how the client, server, or different backend systems exchange data.

Short polling is a communication technique where the client repeatedly asks the server for new data after a fixed time interval.

Long polling is a communication technique where the client asks the server for new data, but the server does not reply immediately.

WebSocket is a communication technique that creates a persistent, full-duplex connection between the client and the server.

Server-Sent Events, also called SSE, is a unidirectional communication protocol where the server pushes real-time updates to the client.

Webhooks are a communication technique where one system sends real-time data to another system using an HTTP callback when an event happens.
