Is Ajax call the best way to update a field every 5 seconds (Live) in Laravel? – Jquery ajax

I need to check the database if a new row is created for the user and show him a popup message. I should do it for every user, and it should happen without refreshing the page (Live). Shall I try pusher/socket or make Ajax call every 5 seconds? I really want to use Ajax because it’s easier and straightforward.
The related table has nearly 50,000 rows, and I’ll need to check if a new row with the particular user_id is added through a postback.

    Since the information needs to be transmitted from the server (at some unknown time) to the client, it would be far more elegant to use a WebSocket (JS docs). This way, instead of the client having to repeatedly ping the server, the client just has to establish a socket connection once, and the server can send the data whenever it’s ready.

    you can try setInterval function in JS for call Ajax function.

    function checkAjaxFunc() { ... }
setInterval(function() {checkAjaxFunc()},5000);

    Why not a scheduled task?
    See here

    You could set a cache value every five second and in ajax call read only this value. in this way you will not read DB and only a cache value every 5 seconds instead of once every 5 seconds for each user logged in
