What is Laravel event broadcasting and how does it work in real-time systems?

Event broadcasting pushes server-side events to clients in real-time using WebSockets or broadcasting drivers.

Laravel event broadcasting allows backend events to be sent to frontend clients in real time. It uses drivers like Pusher, Redis, or WebSockets. Events implement ShouldBroadcast and are pushed to channels. Clients subscribe to these channels using Echo or similar libraries. This is essential for real-time apps like chat systems, notifications, and dashboards.
