SSE
n. uncountablen. Stands for Server-Sent Events. A way for a website to send live updates to your browser automatically without you having to refresh the page.
n. Abbreviation for Server-Sent Events. A standard for real-time communication that allows a server to push data to web pages over HTTP, typically used for live feeds or notifications.
The app uses SSE to show live stock prices.
Developers chose SSE over WebSockets because they only needed a one-way stream of data from the server to the client.
By implementing SSE, the dashboard provides users with instantaneous updates on server health without the overhead of constant client-side polling or the complexity of full duplex communication.
Often used in the singular to refer to the technology or protocol; can be countable when referring to specific event instances.
