Short Polling Communication Pattern

Overview

Short polling is a communication pattern where a client repeatedly polls a server for updates. The client sends a request to the server, and the server responds with the latest data. The client then waits for a short period of time before sending another request. This process is repeated at regular intervals to keep the client up to date with the latest information.
