Connecting NextJS with NestJS via SocketIO
Introduction SocketIO is a powerful library that enables bidirectional, real-time, event-based communication between the server and the browser. The key advantages include: Low Latency: Instant data transmission instead of having to send continuous requests. Reliability: Automatic reconnection on connection loss and fallback support to HTTP long-polling if WebSocket is unavailable. Broadcasting: Easily send data to one or multiple clients simultaneously. In this article, I will guide you on using NextJS and NestJS to communicate with each other via SocketIO, simulating a chatbot app and the AI Agent's workflow.
