Integrating WebSockets with Spring
Configure WebSocket support in your Spring Boot application to enable persistent client-server connections for subscriptions.
WebSockets for Real-time Data
Welcome! In this lesson, we'll integrate WebSockets with Spring Boot. This is crucial for enabling real-time features like GraphQL Subscriptions.
WebSockets provide a persistent, two-way communication channel between a client and a server over a single, long-lived TCP connection.
Why WebSockets for Subscriptions?
Unlike traditional HTTP requests (which are short-lived), GraphQL Subscriptions require a continuous connection to push data updates to clients as they happen.
WebSockets are the perfect fit because they maintain an open connection, allowing the server to send data to the client at any time without a new request.
