Hussein Nasser: WebTransport is a Game Changer Protocol

TL;DR

WebTransport is a next-gen protocol for real-time, bidirectional web communication that lives on top of HTTP/2 and HTTP/3. It lets you multiplex both reliable and unreliable streams over a single, TLS-secured connection—solving key pain points of WebSockets, HTTP/2 push, and gRPC (no more head-of-line blocking or client-only streams).

In his deep-dive video session, Hussein Nasser walks through how WebTransport works (and why it won’t run on HTTP/1.1), the nuts and bolts of upgrading existing connections, the rise and fall of HTTP/2 Push, and practical tips for proxying WebTransport traffic. It’s a game-changer for low-latency apps, real-time gaming, streaming, notifications—you name it.
