What Hacker News says?
I appreciate the answers. For others reading, I also just ran across another thread where you posted relevant info [0]. In the case of my game, I'm going to consider SSE, since most of the communication is server to client. That said, I already have reconnects etc implemented. In my research I recall some potential tradeoffs with SSE [1], but even there I concluded they were minor enough to consider SSE vs WS a wash…

HN discussionWhat's the process for adding support for other databases to your tool qStudio? I'm thinking perhaps you could add support for Timeplus [1]? Timeplus is a streaming-first database built on ClickHouse. The core DB engine Timeplus Proton is open source [2]. It seems that qStudio is open source [3] and written in Java and will need a JDBC driver to add support for a new RDBMS? If yes, Timeplus Proton has an open source…

HN discussionit's a spicy question.. The full comparison deserves one or a series of blogs In short, data streaming is getting popular. Apache Flink, Apache Spark, ksqlDB are traditional players. They work well in some cases, but have challenges on easy-to-use, easy-to-deploy, on even performance sometimes Proton, RisingWave, Materialize, etc are the alternatives. In the end, it's always 'case by case' to pick up the best tools…
