What problem does it solve?

Real-time communication between a Django backend and frontend clients is often challenging due to the need for live updates, reliable delivery, and secure channels. This skill provides a Centrifugo-based pipeline to publish events (e.g., notifications, signals, and project changes) to connected clients with minimal latency and without polling.

Core Features & Use Cases

• Real-time event publishing through Centrifugo on model changes after transaction commit via Celery tasks.
• Channel-based streaming: companies:global, notifications:user#{id}, and project:{id} for targeted updates.
• JWT-authenticated subscriptions ensuring secure access to relevant channels and safe frontend integration.

Quick Start

Set up Centrifugo, connect Django signals to Celery tasks, and verify real-time updates on the frontend.
