Broadcast to all users each two seconds: websockets vs short-polling + CDN
I need to broadcast 1 KB of data to all website users each 2 seconds. The data are common for all users.
Does HTTP short-polling and dynamic CDN in front of my web server good fit for my needs? Or two-second update period is too much for CDN and I have to use web sockets?
Websockets sounds like overhead because of their state and come on that's only few KBs each 2 seconds)
http websocket cdn long-polling
