    Hi, I am struggling with one concept... Ably allows data to be streamed.. but a lot of data is change in state (i.e, not the full snapshot). So ideally there should be a database which includes current status of each match and odds and this will be used to display all the relevant info regarding match and bets at the time of login/page reload. Any future changes/updates/new bets can be pushed via Ably channels. Have I got that right? or Have I missed something

    • @AblyRealtime
      @AblyRealtime Před měsícem

      Hi! If your channel contains changes in state, for example with changing betting odds like spurs to win is now 5/1, then the original (already existing) state does come from a database, as you mentioned. Ably’s LiveSync is designed to deal with exactly this problem by merging together an existing database state with changing states communicated by Ably channels.

    • @AblyRealtime

      This is often not possible with phones or tablets due to constraints from Apple and Android with apps not allowing background WebSocket connections. It is not even possible to send REST https requests to apps running in the background. The only way around is to send a push notification. If the app is running in the foreground indefinitely, the socket connection can stay open.

    • @AblyRealtime
      @AblyRealtime Před měsícem

      Hey there! Redis is used in this situation more as a cache, optimised brokering the messages with ultra low latency. The classic design to persist messages longterm is to have an additional relational DB as a layer after Redis (to the right in the diagram)

      You have to set-up a way to provision and shed Redis instances to match scaling demands. Some use-cases will demand a Kubernetes type service to manage the instances, and others a more homegrown solution.

    Why cant we use redis instead of websocket?

    • @AblyRealtime
      @AblyRealtime Před 3 měsíci

      Alex from the video here 👋🏻 That is a good question. WebSockets are a realtime communication protocol that provides a full-duplex communication channel between client and server over a long-lived connection, meanwhile Redis is an in-memory data structure store. Sometimes confusion can arise because Redis does support pub/sub, but that mechanism is primarily designed to handle communication between your app/services and Redis. It's not suitable for realtime interaction between your server and clients (end-users). For example, you'd be hard-pressed to connect to Redis from a browser in a a sensible way but that's exactly what Websockets are designed for.

      Hi Eduardo. It is possible to send messages with total data size of up to 64kb within an Ably message. Unfortunately, we do not by default support sending files larger than this over the WebSocket connection, but a common way to solve this problem is to send an access url in the Ably message which links to an external database. Would this work for you?

    If all your servers use a shared redis instance to communicate with each other, don't we just reintroduce the original problem of a single server handling all the load (defeating the purpose of the load balancer)? I see that it still helps, since non-websocket work is still distributed, but at scale, I dont see how anything is solved. Especially for apps like chat apps where the websockets carry a lot of the work. Great video though!

Lets say, user click on an item in the table and a table footer pops up with more data about the row that was clicked in the table. I want the "more data" to be fetched and displayed in server component. But for the server component to know what data to fetch it need the row id which is stored in state management system Zustand (runs only on client).... So how can i pass the newly selected ID to server compoennt?

    • @AblyRealtime
      @AblyRealtime Před 5 měsíci

      Alex from the video here 👋🏻 Unfortunately, no. From what I learned, you can’t really pass data from client to server components, you have to fetch all of it upfront and only use the client component to control what gets displayed.
