Server-Sent Events (SSE) vs WebSocket - How it works and Live tutorial in Node.js 

Server-Sent Events (SSE) is an HTTP based communication technology that enables realtime communication from a web-server to a client. It is similar to Websockets but simpler and has few limitations. 🚀. But which one is better SSE or Websockets?
In this video, I'll explain what is Server-Sent Event (SSE), why it is better than the traditional HTTP for some-cases, how it works on top of HTTP, and the differences between SSE and Websockets. I've also included a live coding example that shows how to implement an SSE server and front-end using Node.js and HTML/JS. This video is more like a crash course that explains everything you need to understand about Server-Sent Events (SSE)
