Misunderstanding SSE
On my path of practicing simple software my existing understanding of systems, protocols and tools are challenged. My mental model for SSE (Server Sent Events) was a way to keep a connection open and send updates to the client from the server. Broadly this is correct, but read on as I break down what SSE actually is to see why you may be underutilizing SSE in your applications.
