Understanding the differences between Polling and WebSockets is crucial for web applications requiring fast data exchange. Polling is simpler and works with any tech stack but can be inefficient and cause delays. WebSockets offer real-time data transfer and maintain a single connection, enhancing efficiency but adding complexity. Amazon API Gateway supports both methods, allowing you to choose based on your application's needs. Practical tips and a sample app are provided to help you implement these methods on AWS.
