Mercure: Real-time Made Easy
Mercure is an open solution for real-time communications designed to be fast, reliable, and battery-efficient. It is a modern and convenient replacement for both WebSockets and the higher-level libraries and services relying on it.
Mercure is especially useful to add streaming and asynchronous capabilities to REST and GraphQL APIs. Because it is a thin layer on top of HTTP and SSE, Mercure is natively supported by modern web browsers, mobile applications and IoT devices.
A free (as in beer, and as in speech) reference server as well as a hosted service are available.
