[Question] Will Mercure be a hard requirement or an optional (but recommended) feature

[youwe-petervanderwal]

Hi Pimcore,

To prepare (and prioritize) our hosting department ahead of time

Based on

https://github.com/pimcore/studio-backend-bundle/blob/1.x/doc/00_Installation.md#mercure

The Studio Backend Bundle uses Mercure to push updates to the frontend. To enable Mercure, you need to set up a Mercure hub and configure the bundle to use it.

it's not really clear whether Mercure will be a hard requirement to run the new Studio UI or that it is an optional (but recommended) feature.

Can you give some clarity about that?

Hello Peter,

sorry for the late reply!
Concerning your question - yes Mercure is indeed a hard requirement for running the new Studio UI.
Mercure is essential because it enables real-time updates by pushing changes directly to the frontend.

Additionally, we want to handle long-running processes asynchronously. Mercure allows us to push updates about these processes as they complete, rather than requiring the frontend to continually poll the backend.

This setup ensures a better performance and a more responsive user experience.

Best regards,
Alex

Thanks for the explanation, much appreciated!
I'll close this issue as it was mainly a question.

Ps. suggestion to add a "Requirements" section to the README.md
