Operational Characteristics of Sync Technologies

WebSockets are stateful connections that keep data in memory, which can lead to scalability limitations when handling thousands of concurrent users. For instance, maintaining 10,000 open WebSockets may efficiently manage input/output operations but will eventually strain memory resources. In contrast, a system that utilizes a CDN layer offloads concurrency concerns, effectively allowing for better resource management and scalability. This results in a design that can push limits, accommodating millions of concurrent users by leveraging established CDN infrastructure.
