WebTransport swoops in as the jack-of-all-trades web protocol, merging secure, multiplexed streams over HTTP/2 and HTTP/3. It fixes WebSocket’s one-stream limit and gRPC’s rigidity by offering both reliable and/or unreliable data channels, ultra-low latency, bidirectional messaging, and built-in TLS—all under the familiar hood of modern HTTP.
In the deep-dive video, Hussein walks through why old tricks like HTTP/2 push or client-polling fall short, how WebTransport’s Extended Connect works (and why it can’t ride on HTTP/1.1), plus tips on proxying and back-filling. Bonus: links to his Udemy courses on backend, networking, DB design, and more if you’re hungry to level up.
