Streaming Protocols

Multiple streaming protocols supported for different use cases and client requirements

📡

Server-Sent Events (SSE)

Lightweight, HTTP-based streaming perfect for one-way server-to-client communication. Ideal for chat applications and real-time updates.

  • Auto-reconnection built-in
  • Native browser support
  • Simple HTTP protocol
  • Efficient for text streams
  • Easy to debug
🔌

WebSocket

Full-duplex communication channel over a single TCP connection. Perfect for interactive applications requiring bidirectional streaming.

  • Bi-directional streaming
  • Low latency connection
  • Binary data support
  • Persistent connection
  • Real-time interaction
📦

Chunked Transfer

Standard HTTP chunked encoding for streaming responses. Works with any HTTP client without special protocol support.

  • Universal compatibility
  • Standard HTTP/1.1
  • No special client needed
  • Proxy-friendly
  • CDN compatible

Streaming Features

Enterprise-ready streaming capabilities for production deployments

Low Latency First Token

Optimized streaming pipeline delivers first tokens in under 50ms for responsive user experiences.

🔄

Automatic Reconnection

Intelligent reconnection with resume capability ensures streams continue even after network interruptions.

⚖️

Backpressure Handling

Smart buffer management prevents memory issues when clients can't keep up with stream rate.

🔐

Secure Streaming

TLS encryption for all streaming connections with proper authentication and authorization checks.

📊

Stream Analytics

Real-time metrics on streaming performance, token throughput, and connection health.

🛡️

Error Recovery

Graceful error handling with automatic retry and fallback to alternative models or providers.

Quick Integration

// SSE Streaming Client Example
const eventSource = new EventSource(
  'https://proxy.example.com/v1/chat/stream',
  { headers: { 'Authorization': 'Bearer YOUR_TOKEN' } }
);

eventSource.onmessage = (event) => {
  const data = JSON.parse(event.data);
  
  if (data.choices[0].finish_reason) {
    console.log('Stream complete');
    eventSource.close();
    return;
  }
  
  // Display token in real-time
  process.stdout.write(data.choices[0].delta.content);
};

eventSource.onerror = (error) => {
  console.error('Stream error:', error);
  // Auto-reconnect is built into SSE
};
