## 🌟 Introduction
Live chat allows users to send and receive messages in real-time. It is built using a microservices architecture, JWT verification and Websockets. The purpose of the project is to demonstrate my ability to build API's and manage non-relational databases.
## 🚀 Features
- 🔐 User authentication and authorization
- 📨 Real-time messaging
- 📇 Contacts management
- 🔗 Connection management
- 🗄️MongoDB for data storage
## 🏛️ Architecture
The application is composed of several microservices, each responsible for a specific functionality. The services communicate with each other using HTTP and WebSockets. Below is an overview of the architecture:
- **🔑 Login Service**: Handles user login and token generation.
- **✅ Verification Service**: Manages token verification processes.
- **📇 Contacts Service**: Manages user contacts.
- **💬 Messages Service**: Manages the sending and downloading of messages.
- **🔗 Connection Service**: Manages WebSocket communications to enable real time chat conversations.
- **🗄️ MongoDB Database**: Stores all persistent data for the application.
## 🛠️ Technologies
- **FastAPI**: Back-end framework for building APIs.
- **MongoDB**: NoSQL database for storing application data.
- **Docker**: Containerization of services.
- **JWT**: JSON Web Tokens for user authentication.
- **WebSockets**: Real-time communication protocol.
