Alternate of server polling?

As we know, if running application also manage sessions in main memory then is there any way for server to send responses to all web clients/browsers for new recorded data in a database.

Remember: I have not made any request to server or polling to server for new records update..

Let server make responses without web request..

Objective : No all web browsers making request or polling to server for every certain interval therefore reducing the performance issue with the application memory..

Am just against of making so many ajax calls from every web client..

Need your ideas from your past, if experienced similar..

WebSocket is the best and easy solution if you don't want to go through the hassle to learn Angular or others.

Both server-side and client-side can build WebSocket, and it acts as a bridge to transmit data back and forth.

I just created an easy solution for this.

Please check my new library wsm - WebSocket Manager, it works for both server-side and client-side.

Websocket Server can be built easily; this library includes several useful features.

read about websockets and socket.io. basically with socket.io you have a connection open between browser (client) and server and server can send data which the client than receives as an event. the client doesn't need to send a request to get that data, only open the web socket connection.

you can look at socket.io chat example: http://socket.io/get-started/chat/
