Server-Sent Events: the alternative to WebSockets you should be using
My personal WebSockets vs SSE TL;DR goes something like this:
* If you're on HTTP/2, start with SSE
* If you need to send binary data, use WebSockets
* If you need fast bidi streaming, use WebSockets
* If you need backpressure and multiplexing for WebSockets, use RSocket or omnistreams[1] (one of my projects).

The WebSocket Handbook
I built omnistreams[0] primarily because of the lack of backpressure in browser WebSockets (lots of background information in that README). It's what fibridge[1] is built on. We've been using it in production for over 2 years, but I never ended up trying to push omnistreams as a thing. I believe the Rust implementation is actually behind the spec a bit, and the spec itself probably needs some work.
At the end of the day I think RSocket is probably the way to go for most people, though the simplicity of omnistreams is still appealing to me.
