    Maybe using websocket? Or Redis pubsub feature?

      I also thought first of websockets. gRPC is also worth looking into. Or maybe GraphQL streaming, don't know how that works nowadays.

        Websockets sounds a great idea. And it is relatively easy to implement a WS client/server.

        I have never heard GQL streaming and redis pubsub. Will totally look into

        Thank you guys

    My first choice would probably be WebSockets, but it might be worth a look at server-sent events for a possible simpler solution.

    Thank you Nico. Not sure if long polling is a viable option in my book, but I will totally try the rest :)
