Good Read
Good explanation in easy language
Nice one. Appreciation to your quality work.
Wonderful article, I had a question though, how do chat servers communicate between each other when sending messages?
they are multiple ways they can communicate:
1. Message Queues - Sender's chat server publish messages to receiver's chat server queue
2. gRPC - It might be ideal due to its low latency.
3. HTTP APIs (eg.. REST) - Server handling a user’s message might call another server’s API to forward the message to users connected on that server.
I am not sure, Can server 1 send message directly to server2 by websocket ?
Hi Ashish, "API Design" section seems to be missing. Was it not included intentionally? Thanks.
It's amazing mate ✨
i have a minor doubt in the database design, dont we need a receiverId in the messages table
Really a wonderful article Ashish. I was wondering if you could elaborate WhatsApp communities design. How is it different(if at all) from group chat?
