When I first started working on our company's real-time collaboration platform, I quickly realized that the default approach wouldn't scale. We needed a solution that could handle thousands of concurrent users without sacrificing performance. After months of trial and error, we finally landed on a combination of Next.js and MongoDB that met our needs.
The Problem with Traditional Approaches
Most real-time collaboration platforms rely on WebSockets or server-sent events to establish bi-directional communication between clients and servers. However, as the number of users grows, these approaches can become cumbersome and prone to errors. I discovered that using a combination of Next.js's built-in support for Server-Sent Events (SSE) and MongoDB's change streams could provide a more scalable solution.
