Lets say there's some change in the database which would change the content of some page - how can i add tracking, so whenever the specific database is changed, i can send "notification" to the currently visiting users with something like "Content of the page has changed"?

the only way for a server to send data to a client without the client explicitly requesting it is by real time tech such as websocket

Answer
but you can mimic real time by using things like tanstack query which basically polls the server regularly

Would you recommend ws? Or maybe other libraries for realtime
i was talking about websocket the protocol.
ws is just one of the libraries allowing you to interact with that protocol, you can use any libs you likeClumber SpanielOP
