WebTransport: The Real-Time Game Changer

WebTransport finally gives us multiplexed, bidirectional streams—both reliable and “best-effort” unreliable—over HTTP/2 and HTTP/3, all wrapped in TLS. Think low-latency, full-duplex comms that dodge WebSocket and gRPC headaches, and let servers push data without hacks.

This deep-dive covers why old tricks (WebSockets, HTTP/2 push, gRPC) fall short, how WebTransport rides atop HTTP/2 & HTTP/3 (with Extended Connect), the no-go around HTTP/1.1, and even proxy quirks. If you live for real-time web apps, buckle up—this is the protocol upgrade you’ve been waiting for.
