### 1. Why Streaming is Mandatory in GenAI (TTFT Optimization ⚡)

LLM ko 500 tokens generate karne me 10 seconds lag sakte hain.  
**Streaming (Server-Sent Events - SSE):** First token **< 300ms (Time to First Token - TTFT)** me browser par render hona start ho jata hai!

```http
HTTP/1.1 200 OK
Content-Type: text/event-stream
Cache-Control: no-cache
Connection: keep-alive

data: {"token": "Hello"}

data: {"token": " world"}

data: [DONE]
```

---

### 2. Node.js Express SSE Implementation

```typescript
app.post("/api/chat-stream", async (req, res) => {
    res.setHeader("Content-Type", "text/event-stream");
    res.setHeader("Cache-Control", "no-cache");
    res.setHeader("Connection", "keep-alive");

const stream = await openai.chat.completions.create({
        model: "gpt-4o",
        messages: req.body.messages,
        stream: true,
    });

for await (const chunk of stream) {
        const content = chunk.choices[0]?.delta?.content || "";
        if (content) {
            res.write(`data: ${JSON.stringify({ text: content })}\n\n`);
        }
    }
    res.write("data: [DONE]\n\n");
    res.end();
});
```

### 3. Interview Ke 3 Sawal Is Topic Se

1. **SSE vs WebSockets me LLM streaming ke liye SSE preferred kyu hai?** -> SSE lightweight unidirectional HTTP standard hai jo native browser `EventSource` API aur standard HTTP load balancers/CDNs par zero-config kaam karta hai.
2. **Nginx reverse proxy streaming responses ko buffer hone se kaise rokti hai?** -> `proxy_set_header X-Accel-Buffering "no";` aur `proxy_buffering off;` configure karke.
3. **Citations / Sources streaming response me kab send karne chahiye?** -> Pehle SSE event me retrieved source metadata send karna taaki frontend immediately citation badges render kar sake jab LLM tokens stream ho rahe hon.
