AI Feature Implementation — Streaming
This lesson covers implementing AI response streaming with SSE and ReadableStream.
Like streaming a movie without waiting for the full download — streaming AI returns words as they arrive without waiting for the full response.
- SSE
- Server-Sent Events — a one-way HTTP protocol for sending events from server to client.
- ReadableStream
- A Web API for streaming that lets you read data in chunks as it arrives.
- Backpressure
- A mechanism that slows the producer down when the consumer can't process fast enough.
