What this crate is

bext-realtime is bext's real-time layer. It provides a pub/sub hub for WebSocket and Server-Sent Events connections, with topic-based routing, wildcard subscriptions, per-topic auth rules, and an optional Redis relay for horizontal scaling across multiple bext instances.

Features

• WebSocket hub — topic pub/sub, wildcard subscriptions (chat.*).
• SSE streaming — for clients that don't do WebSockets.
• Auth rules — per-topic allow/deny policies.
• Upstream proxy mode — optionally proxy WS connections to a backend.
• Redis relay (feature-gated) — broadcast messages across multiple bext instances for horizontal scaling.

[dependencies]
bext-realtime = { version = "0.2", features = ["redis"] }
