The same live order board built twice: Laravel with Livewire and Reverb, and Semitexa with Server-Sent Events. Code, measured latency, moving parts, and where each one is worse.
Compare the two builds →How EventSource reconnects, what Last-Event-ID really does, and how a server replays missed SSE events or tells the page to re-sync. With two bugs we shipped.
Recover the missed events →Follow one click from a fingertip through TLS, undersea fiber and a Swoole worker in Helsinki back to every open screen, then press a live Say hello button.
Follow one click →Laravel Octane, Hyperf and Semitexa compared: what each keeps in memory, where request state lives, tenancy, live pages, AI agents, and when to choose which.
Compare the three →SSE vs WebSockets for live dashboards and tables: who talks, what proxies and PHP runtimes change, and the SSE plus POST pattern a live grid runs on.
Choose the transport →A PHP data grid driven by Server-Sent Events: the server owns the view, re-runs it on change and sends only the rows that moved. Watch the wire live.
Watch the grid on the wire →A timeout does not tell you whether the receiver acted. Trace Semitexa webhook retries, inbox deduplication and leases, and what still needs idempotency.
Follow a webhook through a retry →A background job outlives the request that created it. See how Semitexa carries tenant context across the queue boundary, and why cleanup matters just as much.
Follow the tenant across the queue →Built for long-running PHP from day one: explore Semitexa worker lifecycles, coroutine isolation, connection pools and live HTML with a running example.
Explore the Semitexa runtime →Server Side Rendering 2.0 in PHP: one Twig template, deferred blocks and live SSE events. Explore Semitexa with highlighted code and working demos.
Read the SSR 2.0 guide →Streaming SSE in Semitexa delivers live events and server-rendered HTML over HTTP. See the real PHP demos, shared stream, and production considerations.
Read the SSE guide →What is SSE? Learn how Server-Sent Events work, what SSE streaming is, how it compares with WebSockets and polling, and when to use it.
