How does Bubble perform this magic?

Curious: How in the world does Bubble recognize a data change in a any DB element that’s used in a large search that instantly displays text on the page (such as search invoice_paid=true:count). Is that a native feature of the underlying DB they’re using?

I’ve been curious myself.

But I was afraid to ask for fear that it was due to a bug and they would remove it (lol).

But in all seriousness, it is a wonderful feature.

As far as I’m aware it would be handled through web sockets - and I’d imagine only available with native bubble backend.

I think a bubble depends on the back end of Node.js which supports web sockets and asynchronous request handling

Thx all for the interesting insights. Irrespective of how they do it, it’s an awesome feature of Bubble!
