Flow[Message]
  // Take message as text
  .collect {
    case tm: TextMessage => tm
    case _ => throw new UnsupportedOperationException("binary is not
supported")
  }
  // Produce a MongoDB publisher somehow
  .map{msg.textStream. ... }
  // Make a Source from the publisher and feed into this stream
  .flatMapConcat(Source(_))
  // Wrap in websocket Text message
  .map(TextMessage(_))
  // merge it with server side pushes
  .merge(updates)

You can have an actor in the server handling pushes, and it can look like
this

val updates =
  Source.actorRef[String](128, OverflowStrategy.fail)
  .mapMaterializedValue{ ref => updaterActor ! Register(ref) }

Above will automatically send a Register message to a given actor, passing
it an ActorRef to which it can send TextMessage events. If the client
cannot keep up with the push frequency it will be kicked out due to
OverflowStrategy.fail

-Endre
