I'm so curious about what the 30% of you who are designing custom UDP-based protocols are doing, I would love to hear more!

(please only reply if you responded “yes, UDP” to the above poll)

@b0rk I work as a backend dev in the gaming industry where udp is common for communication between game client and servers. I have designed udp protocols that we use for smoketesting and loadtesting of our network infrastructure and backend.
