By implementing the Server-Sent Events (SSE) protocol, the project exposes the full streaming response capabilities of Gemini 2.5 Pro to developers. When a request sets the 'stream': true
The API returns the generated content verbatim with a typewriter effect. The technical implementation adopts the asynchronous generator mechanism of Node.js to ensure stable transmission in highly concurrent scenarios.
Practical application performance: 1) long text generation can achieve 200ms level of first packet response; 2) dynamically adjust the control granularity of the generated content; 3) with the front-end to achieve a truly interactive dialog experience. Performance tests show that under the same hardware conditions, streaming transmission than the complete response to save 40% memory consumption.
