[SOLVED] How to listen to realtime changes in nodejs using websocket ?

are there any access restrictions on the collection/documents?

side question: why do you need to use realtime serverside?

TL;DR

Solution: To listen to real-time changes in Node.js using WebSockets, it is recommended to use Appwrite functions or set up an external system and use Appwrite Webhooks to send data to that system. This allows you to avoid running a server function each time and keep an open connection. If you have multiple server functions updating data, it is suggested to have a separate microservice for events (data updates). If you want to passively listen to database changes from the server using the Node SDK, you can implement the necessary functions. Access restrictions on the collection/documents and the need for real-time serverside can be addressed by considering

Sorry if I reply on this old thread, but I only found this one. I'd like to passively listen at db changes from the server, I'm currently using node sdk, how am I supposed to do?

Appwrite functions is the way to go. otherwise, you can set up an external system and use Appwrite Webhooks to send data to that system.
