Push Model

Definitions

1. A data delivery pattern in which the producer actively sends data to consumers as soon as it becomes available, rather than waiting for consumers to request it. This contrasts with the pull model, where consumers poll for new data.

   In plain English: Instead of repeatedly asking 'is there new data?', the system automatically sends you new data the moment it arrives.

   Example: "We switched from polling the API every 5 seconds to a push model using WebSockets, and our dashboard latency dropped from seconds to milliseconds."
