MongoDB Real-time Updates via SSE with Axum

A proof-of-concept application demonstrating real-time updates from MongoDB to a web browser using Rust, Axum, and Server-Sent Events (SSE).

Features

• Real-time MongoDB change stream monitoring
• Server-Sent Events (SSE) for push notifications
• Lightweight client-side JavaScript implementation
• Zero client-side dependencies

Tech Stack

• Backend

  • Rust
  • Axum - Web framework
  • MongoDB Rust Driver
  • Tokio - Async runtime

• Frontend

  • JavaScript
  • Server-Sent Events (SSE)
  • HTML5

Prerequisites

• Rust (latest stable version)
• MongoDB 4.0 or higher (with replica set enabled)

How It Works

1. The Rust backend establishes a change stream with MongoDB
2. Changes are broadcast to all connected clients using SSE
3. The client-side JavaScript renders updates in real-time
