Discussion on: Server Sent Events are still not production ready after a decade. A lesson for me, a warning for you!

Hey John, we are using Bull and moving to Rabbit on the back end and indeed that's what gives us the ability to easily rewind events on a reconnect. In this case I think it's either sockets - but I just hate the amount of code we have to write around socket.io, or the long polling - which is basically now working- had to do the reconnect stuff ourselves but that is easier given just how simple long polling is compared to sockets. Performance seems to be holding up, but this is a live situation haha! Not done full scalability on it yet...
