Glad to see more and more people talk about SSE, specifically because all projects don’t require bidirectional communications, and all data clients aren’t web browsers (and still, polyfill is there, as mentionned).
At Streamdata.io, we use SSE and on top of it, we add JSON Patch so as to make the whole thing even more efficient by optimizing what is transmitted. In situations where the client is a mobile device with a downgraded network, we manage to keep it working well as it reduces the necessary bandwidth to carry the data from the API to the end-user.
