Plone and the real-time web
2024-11-27 , Capibara room
Language: English

I’ll present some experiments with adding real-time interaction to Plone using websockets and a Python asyncio event loop.


In the modern web, we’re used to websites that update information in real time and allow for interaction with other users. Plone is built as a WSGI application with a request/response model that makes this difficult to implement. I’ll show the basic pieces of how to add on websockets and real-time messaging to Plone, and discuss possible features that could be created on top of these building blocks.

David Glick has been building software for the web for the past 2 decades. He currently works with kitconcept Gmbh building web portals and intranets with Plone.
