Server Sent Events Explained with Go!

Server-Sent Events are a mechanism by which servers can send real-time messages to a client. This can be used in scenarios like push notifications, real-time text broadcasting, etc. In this video, we go over how Server-Sent Events work and then look at a sample Go implementation.

When should I use SSE over a websocket ? Or long pulling?

[@core_dump]

So, SSE can be used only when server needs to push and no bidirectional communication is required, like push notification. SSE is quite lightweight. Long Polling is less efficient than SSE because it requires the creation of a new HTTP request for each piece of data, but it may be a good choice for applications that need to support older browsers or that need to work around network restrictions.

Can you upload the code to github ?
