Mercure is a realtime hub that pushes updates from your backend straight to browsers over Server-Sent Events, so live dashboards, chat rooms, and activity feeds refresh the moment data changes. Subscribers connect through the browser's built-in EventSource API and choose topics with exact matchers for single resources or URL Pattern matchers for whole families such as /books/:id. Publishers send one form-encoded POST to the hub endpoint, and Mercure fans each update out to every matching connection instantly. JWT access tokens grant publish and subscribe rights topic by topic, so private updates reach only entitled clients while public topics can stay open to anonymous subscribers. If a connection drops, the client reconnects with its last event ID and Mercure replays the updates it missed from stored history. Subscription events announce every arrival and departure, so your application gets live presence and a current list of who is connected. A built-in debug UI shows messages flowing through the hub alongside active subscriptions, turning realtime bugs into something you can watch happen. Optional end-to-end encryption protects sensitive payloads, and any backend able to send an HTTP POST can publish, whatever language it runs. Running on a dedicated VPS on RepoCloud with guaranteed CPU, RAM, and SSD, full root SSH access, and a browser serial console. AGPL-3.0 licensed.
