"WebSocket vs HTTP: Which One Should You Use for Real-Time Communication?"
Hey guys, quick question—anyone here struggled with choosing between WebSocket vs HTTP for real-time stuff?
Like, HTTP’s cool for simple requests, but it feels clunky when you need instant updates. WebSocket seems smoother for chat apps or live feeds, but is it worth the extra setup?
Or am I overthinking it? Maybe HTTP polling is *good enough* for smaller projects?
Also, anyone run into weird latency issues with WebSocket? Heard it’s not always sunshine and rainbows lol.
Kinda torn here—what’s your go-to for real-time comms? Drop your thoughts!
(Also, if you’ve got horror stories or success tales, spill ‘em 👀)
