Webhooks vs WebSockets

In web development, staying connected in real-time is more crucial than ever. Two powerful technologies that facilitate communication between servers and clients are webhooks and WebSockets. While they serve similar purposes of enabling data exchange, they do so in fundamentally different ways, each with unique strengths and ideal use cases. Understanding the distinctions between these … Continue reading Webhooks vs WebSockets →

WebSockets vs. GraphQL

WebSockets and GraphQL are used for client-server communication, but they serve different purposes and operate in distinct ways. WebSockets provide a persistent connection, allowing real-time, bi-directional communication between clients and servers. At the same time, GraphQL is a query language that enables clients to request specific data from an API. However, GraphQL also supports real-time … Continue reading WebSockets vs. GraphQL →

WebSockets – Paving the Way for Real-Time Interactions in the Future of Digital Experiences

WebSockets are a fascinating communication protocol that enables full-duplex communication channels over a single TCP connection. They are particularly beneficial for real-time applications, where low latency is crucial. My first encounter with WebSockets was while documenting the infrastructure of the metaverse through the brilliant, Yinch Yeap. In this context, an AppBus managed the dynamic pickup … Continue reading WebSockets – Paving the Way for Real-Time Interactions in the Future of Digital Experiences →

Full Stack of Development for Technical Writers
