Answer 1

In my opinon it's okay to use something like a heartbeat-timer in your frontend which triggers a data fetch every second or so. Especially if you implemented caching on the backend.

A more sophisticated version could use something like django channels to handle the communication via web sockets.

I would say it depends on the maturity of the project.
