Beyond WebSockets: Optimizing Real-Time Data Flow with SSE in Next.js & NestJS
Real-time data streaming is critical for modern applications—whether it’s live notifications, financial dashboards, multiplayer gaming, or collaborative tools. But traditional solutions like WebSockets and polling often introduce scalability issues, high resource consumption, and unnecessary complexity.
In this session, we’ll explore Server-Sent Events (SSE) as a scalable, lightweight alternative for real-time communication. Using Next.js & NestJS, we’ll compare SSE vs WebSockets vs Polling, analyze performance trade-offs, and implement an optimized real-time data streaming system.
What You’ll Learn:
- Why SSE? When to use it instead of WebSockets or Polling.
- Hands-on Demo: Implementing a real-time data feed using SSE.
- Performance & Scalability: How SSE reduces overhead in high-frequency data updates.
Streaming AI Responses in Real-Time with SSE in Next.js & NestJS
Instant AI responses are crucial for modern applications, but traditional real-time data streaming methods like WebSockets and polling can introduce unnecessary complexity and overhead. What if there was a more efficient way?
This session dives into Server-Sent Events (SSE) with Next.js & NestJS as a lightweight, scalable alternative for real-time AI interactions. We’ll compare SSE vs WebSockets vs Polling, explore performance trade-offs, and implement a real-time AI-powered app that streams responses dynamically.
What You’ll Learn:
- Why SSE? How it compares to WebSockets & Polling.
- Hands-on Demo: Building an AI-powered app that streams responses in real-time.
- Performance Optimization: Reducing API overhead and improving response times.
