Announcing support for Server-Sent Events (SSE)
Ably, a realtime platform for developers, has added support for Server-Sent Events (SSE) protocol through its Adapter. This makes it the fifth supported protocol on the platform, with existing support for MQTT, STOMP, AMQP, and other proprietary realtime protocols. The beta release is fully operational and production-ready. SSE is a server push technology that enables automatic updates from a server to a browser or device via HTTP connection. It's commonly used for sending message updates, new events, or continuous data streams to a browser client. Ably recommends its realtime client library SDKs for most realtime use cases as they provide a richer set of features and reliability.
