Websocket and data processing?

Question

JavaScript

Good afternoon!

I'm learning how to work with websockets and I'm a little confused.
Let's say there is a remote websocket server (not mine). I connect to it immediately from the page and get data in real time.
If I need to process them, then I need to do it on the server. Accordingly, we need a server that will also receive a remote socket in real time and send data to the page.
Do I understand correctly that the procedure is as follows?:
On the server:
- connect to a remote socket and receive data
- process data
- create your own server socket to which to transfer the processed data
On the client:
- on the page connect to your socket server.

In this form, I am confused by data processing. After all, there may be delays. Let's say when new data is received, and the previous ones have not yet been processed.

Answer 1

If your client simply sends data to the server and does not wait for any events initiated by this server, then it is enough to send data with a normal AJAX request.
If the data is being processed for a very long time and you are afraid that data overlay will occur, then in the script that processes the client request, put this data in a queue and process it with another script.
