WebSockets Crash Course - Handshake, Use-cases, Pros & Cons and more
WebSockets technology is a bidirectional, full-duplex protocol for communication between client and server over the web. It has been standardized in 2011 and its fully compatible with HTTP. This protocol enables realtime applications such as chatting, notifications, live feed , multiplayer gaming and otheruse cases.
In this video we will explain what WebSockets are and why it was invented. we will then build a server and client using WebSockets. We will also talk about the pros and cons of WebSockets, and discuss some alternatives to this technology

How WebSockets Work?
WebSockets handshake
Initial request is always HTTP which we all know creates a tcp connection, that request then http upgrade tells the server to use it as bidirectional.
Once done switches to binary protocol.

WebServers Pros and Cons
Pros
1. Full-duplex no need for constant polling
2. compatible with HTTP, so proxies know to deal with it
3. Firewalls won’t block it doesn’t use a special port
Cons
1. Proxying is tricky, lots of proxies and transparent proxies don’t support it yet
2. Layer 7 load balancing is tricky, timeouts on the load balancer.
3. More complicated to implement (simple telnet use HTTP)
4. Not ideal for all use cases - (microservices)
Do you have to use Web Sockets ? ( alternatives )
It is important to note that WebSockets is not the only HTTP realtime based solution, there are other ways to achieve real time such as eventsource, and long polling.
