How do you add real-time updates to a full stack app?
Answer
Real-time updates can use SSE or WebSockets.
**Design steps:**
- Choose protocol (SSE for server push; WebSockets for bi-directional)
- Authorize connections
- Scale with a pub/sub layer (Redis, Kafka)
- Handle reconnects and message ordering
Start simple and scale only when traffic requires it.
