   The bulk polling could make sense to reduce load, but my bigger point here 
is that scaling a fleet of HTTP servers (or even routing a particular endpoint 
to a distinct dedicated fleet) is a pretty simple problem that can be 
accomodated in most environments, whereas websockets and sidecars have a lot of 
interesting problems in that area and may not even be feasible in some 
environments.
   
   For the last point, that sounds like a front-end bug, not a problem inherent 
with small HTTP GET requests for short polling. Polling is much simpler in 
terms of the tech involved (and can be stateless), so I am skeptical that small 
front-end bugs will cease to be a problem if we adopt a more complicated 
technology to replace the foundation.
   
   And to be clear, I'm not meaning to dismiss the idea of websockets, I just 
want to make sure that the simpler alternative is discussed and the trade-offs.
   
   It also might be worth discussing the relative strength of the "cons" for 
SSE.  "Some browsers" don't support it, which means the subset of the IE11 
users (1.55% globally) that is not on Windows 10, as well as Opera.
