ajax是否可靠地开发用户到用户聊天系统？ [关闭]

Question

I am new to web technology and i want to know if ajax is good for build a user chat system (Where users can chat with each other just like an messenger).

will this slow down the server, and if so, what would be a better technology for implementing it.

If not, how would you suggest to implement that.

I am working in Laravel. Thank you all of you in advance

Answer 1

You basically have two options.

1. Using a pull setup where the client requests updates from the chat server, using ajax. Then each client will be updated every 1.sec or similar.

2. Using a push setup where the client maintains a connection to the server and sends new chats when they get available. This can be done using websockets.

I would go for setup 2 because it reduces the load on the server as amount of client grows. But try to research into the two options.
