Hey everyone. This is going be the first post ever here by me. Coming to the point that i am planning to build a very simple but powerful architecture based application which is going to be a real time chat application.

I am going to use Micro-service arch for this. For creation / update / deletion of users / rooms i am planning to use NestJS service and for handling real time messaging i am going to use elixir backend as a service.

I am planning to use Kafka as a message broker which will help me to perform inter service communication between nestjs service and elixir service.
when i will add authentication to this app which will be a tricky part of course because there are two separate choices one is to add centralized auth system after an API gateway or add a separate auth service in both the services. So that i will be thinking later.

for now i just want to welcome suggestions / hints / notes / help for this project. I am going to broadcast this whole project on my youtube channel and My biggest supporter in this project will be a AI bot called chatgpt. Because he helps me a lot.

One thing i want to tell everyone that i decided to build this project being a fresher to elixir. i have experience with nestjs as i use it at my work every day. But for elixir it is going to be my first time and today itself i wrote “Hello world” in this language.

I love real time system so i chose elixir to learn now onwards.

I would be more than happy if you can help me in this journey.
Thank you everyone in advance.
