WebTransport: The Next-Gen Web Comm Protocol

WebTransport packs all the good stuff from HTTP/2 and HTTP/3 into a single, TLS-secured pipe, letting you spin up reliable or lossy streams on the fly and juggle them in parallel. Whether you need rock-solid data delivery or the lowest possible latency for gaming, video chats, or live data feeds, WebTransport has your back with bidirectional, multiplexed channels that aren’t tethered to the old client-initiates-everything model.

In his video guide, Hussein Nasser breaks down WebTransport’s inner workings, shows how to upgrade existing connections, and compares it against WebSockets, gRPC, and HTTP streaming. Plus, he peppers in tidbits on why HTTP/2 push faded out and how proxies handle the new protocol—all sprinkled with links to his Udemy backend engineering, networking, and database courses.
