stream-data

Data Streaming application using Django Channels It provides API endpoints for your Django application that can push data to connected clients. Data is sent using the Server-Sent Events protocol (SSE), in which data is streamed over a never-ending HTTP response.

For example, endpoint, /events/, that a client could connect to with a GET request:

GET /events/ HTTP/1.1
Host: api.example.com
Accept: text/event-stream

The client would receive a streaming HTTP response with content looking like this:

HTTP/1.1 200 OK
Transfer-Encoding: chunked
Connection: Transfer-Encoding
Content-Type: text/event-stream

event: message
data: {"foo": "bar"}

event: message
data: {"bar": "baz"}

...

Features:

• Easy to consume from browsers or native applications.
• Highly reliable. Events can be persisted to your database, so clients can recover if they get disconnected.
• Set per-user channel permissions.

How to Setup:

python3 is assumed to be installed, if not do the same

virtualenv venv
pip install -r requirements.txt
python manage.py migrate
python manage.py makemigrations
python manage.py runserver

for Scaling and Large UserBase:

you need to run multiple instances of your Django project for high availability, or need to push data from management commands, or need to be able to scale to a large number of connections, you can introduce a GRIP proxy layer (such as Pushpin or Fanout Cloud) into your architecture.
