Save the date! The Mozilla Meetup series continues with talks focused on modern web technologies.
To account for typical no-show rates, we’ve opened more RSVP spots than we can physically accommodate. Based on our last event, only about 36 of 100 registered participants (including Mozillians) attended in person. We will admit attendees on a first-come, first-served basis and will need to close the doors once we reach room capacity (around 50 people).
Note that this event operates under the Mozilla Community Participation Guidelines.

18:30 - Intro to WebTransport - the next WebSocket?!
WebTransport is an upcoming protocol (standardized by the IETF) and Web API (standardized by the W3C) for bidirectional communication on the web. It provides multiplexed streams and unreliable datagrams on top of HTTP/3 and HTTP/2.
This talk explains how WebTransport works at the protocol level, how it maps to QUIC when run on top of HTTP/3, and how its capabilities differ from WebSocket. The session will also cover the current state of browser and server support, and where the ecosystem is heading next.
