subscriptionconnectioninterface
The subscriptionconnectioninterface is a software design construct that defines how clients subscribe to a data stream or event feed and how the provider pushes updates over a persistent connection. It serves to decouple data production from consumption by standardizing the subscription lifecycle and delivery.
In practice, it is implemented in messaging and real-time systems as an abstraction over transport and protocol
Core components typically include subscription creation, topic or feed selector, delivery method, and lifecycle methods such
Delivery can be push-based via streaming or bidirectional channels (WebSocket, gRPC streaming, MQTT), or a combination.
Design considerations include delivery guarantees (at-least-once, exactly-once), ordering, scalability, fault tolerance, security (authentication, authorization, encryption), and
Use cases include real-time dashboards, alerts and notifications, collaborative editing, and live data feeds for analytics.
The term is generic and platform-specific; understanding the subscriptionconnectioninterface helps developers build interoperable client libraries and
