WebTransport: The New Real-Time Web MVP

WebTransport supercharges web comms by bundling reliable and unreliable streams into one secure, low-latency connection over HTTP/2 and HTTP/3. Think of it as WebSockets and gRPC on performance steroids—multiplexed, bidirectional data flows with built-in TLS, so your apps get real-time updates without the old hacks (bye-bye HTTP/2 Push struggles).

In the deep-dive video, Hussein Nasser walks through why traditional WebSockets and gRPC fall short, how WebTransport handles upgrades, and what this means for everything from YouTube notifications to proxying and backfills. If you care about next-gen backend patterns, this is your launchpad.
