WebTransport: Your Real-Time Web Upgrade

Ever wondered why WebSockets and gRPC leave you hanging? Enter WebTransport: the slick new protocol riding on HTTP/2 and HTTP/3. It lets you spin up multiple streams—both reliable and “fire-and-forget” unreliable ones—over a single secure connection, so your real-time apps get the low-latency love they deserve.

With built-in TLS, backward-compatible HTTP/2 support (minus unreliable datagrams), and future-proof HTTP/3 performance, WebTransport finally cracks open true bidirectional, multiplexed comms for the web. The video walks you through its evolution from HTTP push woes to extended connect, backfill strategies, and proxy fun—no more shoehorning hacks into your backend.
