TL;DR

WebTransport is like the superhero of web comms, letting you juggle multiple reliable and “I-don’t-care-if-these-packets-arrive” streams over a single HTTP/2 or HTTP/3 connection, all wrapped in TLS. Say goodbye to WebSocket quirks and gRPC headaches—it's low-latency, full-duplex, and built to scale with today’s HTTP standards.

In this video, Hussein Nasser walks through why WebSockets, HTTP/2 push, and gRPC fall short, details the nitty-gritty of unreliable vs reliable streams, upgrading connections, and even covers the rise and fall of HTTP/2 push, YouTube notification woes, extended CONNECT, and proxying WebTransport. Buckle up for a deep dive into the next-gen protocol that’s reshaping real-time web apps.
