Introduction to Real-Time Notifications

Last quarter, our team discovered that our application's notification system was failing to deliver updates in real-time, causing delays and frustrating our users. We tried using WebSockets first, but it didn't work as expected. Here's what we learned from our experience.

The Problem with Traditional Notification Systems

Most docs skip the hard part of implementing real-time notifications. I realized that WebSockets alone aren't enough for a production-grade system. We needed a more robust solution that could handle a large number of concurrent connections.

Our Initial Approach with Laravel and WebSockets

When I first tried to implement WebSockets with Laravel, it broke because I didn't configure the WebSocket server correctly. The error message was: Error during WebSocket handshake: 'Upgrade' token not found in 'Connection' header.
