gRPC streaming types: server→client for real-time data, client→server for uploads, bidirectional for chat. Binary, low-latency, flow-controlled, and better than REST.
Build real-time AI systems with Kafka as your event backbone. Ingest features, trigger training, distribute model outputs, and sync data to vector DBs at scale.
Master consumer groups, offset management, exactly-once semantics, dead-letter queues, and consumer lag monitoring for production Kafka.
Build fast UX with LLM streaming using Server-Sent Events, handle backpressure correctly, measure TTFT/TBT, and avoid common pitfalls in production.
Building real-time AI streaming: SSE vs WebSockets, streaming through load balancers, Redis pub/sub, backpressure, and Next.js App Router integration.
SSE is simpler than WebSockets: HTTP, auto-reconnect, one-way streaming. Perfect for dashboards, AI responses, and server→client updates. Learn when to use it.
Master the Vercel AI SDK for building production AI features in Next.js. Learn tool calling, streaming, structured output, and error handling patterns.
