WebSockets excel in maintaining consistent connections, offering low latencies for sustained queries but perform slower for single-shot queries. By contrast, HTTP is quicker for single-shot queries but lacks features like session support and interactive transactions. To strike a balance, connection caching was introduced, speeding up HTTP queries by around 10ms. The choice between HTTP and WebSockets depends on query type, user location, and specific APIs used. 33 4. 4 [](/posts/build-your-own-edge-computing-app-v2xqsuc77 "Build your own edge computing app") Article Community Picks · 2y Build your own edge computing app Learn how to create and deploy an edge computing web app using Glitch and Fastly's Compute platform.
