The connection needs to be open until the client disconnects from the SSE endpoint, the while true is just a very simple way to keep it alive, I don't expect my clients to "send" a disconnect signal of some sorts in this example, I expect them to close the page and I'd just dispose my resources on the aborted event.
If you're looking for something more robust/complex: Lib.AspNetCore.ServerSentEvents uses a pending task until the client signals a disconnection as you can see here.
In any case, Yes there are better ways, I just wanted to share that server sent events are a pretty simple concept (which I previously thought it wasn't), just do an http request and receive information from the server 😁
