I just discovered Retool and am considering changing strategy from a homegrown React web app I'm building. However, the application is heavily event-based and the server pushes content to the client via websockets. I could move the data through Redis or Postgres instead, but I still need a mechanism…

Best practice for realtime/event-based apps?

Use Workflows for notifications if need be but why would there be updates every 5 seconds? Just curious... yes CRUD is supported very well on this platform!

How do I build a real-time dashboard that updates graph-like UIs every second?
