Streamdata.io vs WCF: What are the differences?
What is Streamdata.io? Efficiently Turn APIs into Real-time Experiences. Streamdata.io is a real-time cache proxy allowing you to poll JSON REST APIs and push updates to clients. Streamdata.io also keeps a history of modifications that occur on the data between two pollings. This way, streamdata.io is able to give you the list of modifications which happened since last time you fetched the data.
What is WCF? A runtime and a set of APIs for building connected, service-oriented applications. It is a framework for building service-oriented applications. Using this, you can send data as asynchronous messages from one service endpoint to another. A service endpoint can be part of a continuously available service hosted by IIS, or it can be a service hosted in an application.
Streamdata.io and WCF can be categorized as "Realtime Backend / API" tools.
