At FastComments we store every change as an event, which can either be pushed or polled. Clients subscribe, and poll on reconnect.

Also, integrations use polling: https://github.com/FastComments/fastcomments-integrations/tr...

The integrations work kind of like DB slave replication. They do an initial sync and then maintain state via the event stream.
