This repository hosts the code for a chat application that utilizes Spring Boot for backend services and includes a client application. The backend is split into two services: auth-service for managing user authentication, and chat-service for managing chat messages. The client application provides a basic web interface built using React. All services are containerized using Docker and managed with Docker Compose. The application is accessed through a single entry point on port 80, which is managed by Nginx. Nginx serves the static files for the frontend application and also functions as an API gateway, managing communication with and between the backend services.
-
auth-service: Handles user authentication. It uses Spring Security for authentication and JWT for maintaining user sessions. -
chat-service: Handles chat messages. It uses MongoDB for storing messages and Redis for caching. -
chat-app-client: A simple web interface for the chat application. It is built using React and uses STOMP Client for real-time communication with the chat service.
