Why WebSockets over HTTP/2 (RFC8441) is Critical for Effective Load Balancing and Backend Scaling
The Backend Engineering Show with Hussein Nasser - A podcast by Hussein Nasser
Categories:
In this video, I'll discuss RFC8441 bootstrapping WebSockets with HTTP/2 which I believe a critical protocol to allow WebSockets tunneling to scale on the backend. We will also discuss the current state of the art of Proxy and Backend Supports for this tech.
