Question

Node.js

The whole point is in the question itself, let me clarify a little:
Does it make sense to do long-polling if, say, you need to update every minute? (For starters, it depends on the growth of the audience).
I am familiar with the node, I did a chat on redis & socket.io, there will be no problems. (laravel)
But how would it be better given that the main goal is less load?
Thanks

Answer 1

long-polling/websockets/eventstream - everything can be better in terms of load than periodic requests.
The load depends on how you implement the server side.
