Hi Joan I heard /_db_updates is the feed-like thing I could subscribe to listen to the global updates(same way you described). It is not very clear why would I need access to _global_changes database when I already have /_db_updates method with pagination and long-polling features.
Is listening on _global_changes's /_changes feed the same as listening on /_db_updates? Or is there any difference? What is preferred? thanks, --Vovan > On Jun 26, 2017, at 9:21 PM, Joan Touzet <[email protected]> wrote: > > Say you have 100 databases and you want to know when something changes on all > of them.
