app.use(compress())

/**
 * koa sse middleware
 * @param {Object} opts
 * @param {Number} opts.maxClients max client number, default is 10000
 * @param {Number} opts.pingInterval heartbeat sending interval time(ms), default 60s
 * @param {String} opts.closeEvent if not provide end([data]), send default close event to client, default event name is "close"
 * @param {String} opts.matchQuery when set matchQuery, only has query (whatever the value) , sse will create

    maxClients: 5000,
    pingInterval: 30000
}));

app.use(async (ctx) => {
    // ctx.sse is a writable stream and has extra method 'send'

ctx.sse

a writable stream

ctx.sse.send(data)

send(data, encoding, callback)

ctx.sse.sendEnd(data)
