Who was this project made for?

Everybody who wants to implement chat and notifications in their project.
For example, frontend developers who needs chat and/or notifications functionality.

How it works

screenshot

  1. Any microservice or client just sends some message via REST API or WebSockets with the indication of the chat it belongs to. If message was sent to another user, the chat will be created automatically after the first message.
  2. This message first goes to queue to avoid overloading the database.
  3. Then it's processed by the worker and saved to the database.
  4. After that, the message is sent to real-time chat via WebSockets.

Message history can be retrieved via REST API or WebSockets.
