Server-Sent Events Architecture
Server-Sent Events provide efficient uni-directional streaming from server to client over HTTP/HTTPS connections. Unlike WebSocket, SSE maintains standard HTTP semantics while enabling real-time updates, making it ideal for AI inference results, live dashboards, and notification systems.
Low-Latency Streaming
Sub-50ms event delivery with intelligent connection pooling and optimized network paths for real-time AI inference results and updates.
Automatic Reconnection
Intelligent reconnection strategies with exponential backoff, event queuing, and seamless session recovery for uninterrupted streaming.
Event Batching
Smart event batching and compression algorithms reducing network overhead by 80% while maintaining real-time delivery guarantees.

SSE Protocol Implementation
Our SSE implementation follows the W3C Server-Sent Events specification with enhancements for AI workloads:
Connection Establishment
HTTP/1.1 or HTTP/2 connections with appropriate headers (Content-Type: text/event-stream) and compression negotiation.
Event Streaming
Continuous event flow with automatic reconnection handling, last-event-ID tracking, and connection state management.
Error Recovery
Automatic reconnection with exponential backoff, event queuing during disconnections, and graceful degradation.
