Creating a Simple WebSocket
Explore the foundational concepts of WebSockets in Phoenix and learn how to create a simple WebSocket connection. Understand why WebSockets are crucial for enabling real-time, two-way communication in web applications and how they support performance and scalability in Elixir-based projects.
WebSockets as the backbone of real-time applications
We’ll use WebSockets as our communication layer; they form the backbone of real-time web applications today. This may change as technology evolves, but it’s the best solution in the current technology landscape. We’ll start building real-time applications in the next section, but first, we’ll going to break down how WebSockets work. Understanding WebSockets is crucial to developing and delivering real-time applications to users.
