Hi,
We have a situation where we need to call a third party api.
Browser -> AEM -> thirdparty.
The call to the thirdparty has an SLA of upto 5 seconds.
What is the recommended approach for this scenario ?
Browser posts request to AEM, AEM acknowledges request and immediately replies to browser to say it is handling the request.
Browser then polls AEM for a response
meanwhile AEM calls third party and waits for response , once response is received it stores it in some sort of distributed cache shared between publishers (e.g. elasticache or REDIS)
or
Can the browser use websockets with AEM and maintain a connection (with a timeout of 5 seconds) ?
I can see a few references to socket.io support for AEM screens but not much else.
What would the scalability of such an approach ?
