WebTransport is the next-gen web protocol built on HTTP/2 and HTTP/3 that finally gives us true bidirectional, multiplexed streaming with both reliable and unreliable channels—perfect for everything from real-time chat and live gaming to sensor data. It keeps full TLS security, taps into modern transport features (think low-latency, unordered delivery) and plugs right into our existing HTTP ecosystem.
In the video, Hussein runs through why WebSockets, HTTP/2 Push and even gRPC fall short, how WebTransport works over H2/H3 (and why H1 is out), and digs into upgrade paths, backfill tricks, extended CONNECT, proxying and more—basically a one-stop crash course on the future of web comms.
