Bhushan's response provides a detailed explanation of how HTTP and HTTPS protocols are used in his projects, particularly with Elasticsearch and AWS services. He discusses the setup of secure connections and the use of API Gateway as an intermediary. However, the response could benefit from a clearer structure and focus on the efficiency and reliability aspects of the protocols. Additionally, Bhushan could improve by directly addressing MQTT and providing specific examples of how he ensured the reliability and efficiency of these protocols, as mentioned in the benchmark response.
