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

OP here—thanks for all the insights! Definitely leaning toward WebSocket now for my chat feature.

Tried Socket.IO based on your suggestions, and it’s way smoother than my janky HTTP polling setup. Still gotta test it under load, though.

Anyone got tips for handling WebSocket reconnects? My users are on mobile, so dropouts are a concern.

Also, PubNub looks interesting—might give that a shot if scaling becomes a pain.

Appreciate the help, y’all! 🙌
