There are two different ways of serving Turbo Streams "via HTTP and via Websockets". The regular HTTP streams send updates ONLY to the user that performed an action, whereas Websocket streams (aka Broadcasts) send updates TO ALL users that are "subscribed" to a channel.

in Episode 59 we did an in-deep dive into HTTP Turbo Streams.
Now we will dive into the magic beneath Turbo Stream Broadcasts and understand the best practices while working with them.
