WebTransport is the superhero upgrade to traditional WebSockets and gRPC, riding on HTTP/2 and HTTP/3 to deliver multiplexed, secure, bidirectional streams with both reliable and unreliable data channels. It slashes latency, beefs up TLS-backed security, and breaks free from the classic “client must always kick things off” model.
In the video, Hussein Nasser riffs through WebSockets’ pain points, HTTP/2 vs. HTTP/3 quirks, gRPC’s ceilings, and then dives into WebTransport’s magic—unreliable streaming, upgrade paths, why HTTP/2 push fizzled, YouTube’s notification woes, and even proxy tricks. If you geek out over next-gen web comms, this one’s a must-watch.
