Discussion on: Server Sent Events are still not production ready after a decade. A lesson for me, a warning for you!

Hello Kévin, having just found this article and comments a year after they were published, I am curious if you have experienced any issues with your proposed workarounds. In your opinion, is SSE production ready? I am at the point where I am ready to load test my app and thus I hope the answer is yes. ;-)

Hi @kenricashe. Yes, according to me SSE is totally suitable for production. I use it in prod for years on my own projects and I also manage a SaaS product built on top of SSE and the Mercure protocol, which have many customers and is serving a huge number of SSE connections every days without problems (mercure.rocks).
