WebSocket vs HTTP: Which One Should You Use for Real-Time Communication? or WebSocket vs HTTP: What's

HTTP is fine if you don’t *need* real-time. But if you do, WebSocket is worth the setup.

I’ve used both, and the difference is night and day for stuff like live dashboards. HTTP feels like dragging a brick, lol.

Tools? Check out Pusher or Firebase Realtime DB. They handle the heavy lifting for you.
