• Used Technologies

During the development of this application, I utilized the following technologies:

• Spring Boot: A powerful Java framework for building web applications.
• WebSocket: A communication protocol for real-time, full-duplex communication between a client and a server.
• STOMP (Simple Text Oriented Messaging Protocol): A messaging protocol that defines the format and rules for data exchange.
• SockJS: A JavaScript library that provides a WebSocket-like object in browsers that don't support WebSocket.
• MongoDB: A NoSQL database program, MongoDB stores data in flexible, JSON-like documents.
• Docker: Docker provides a way to package and distribute software in containers, making it easier to deploy and run applications consistently across different environments.

How to Run

1. Clone this repository to your local machine.
2. Make sure you have Java and Maven installed.
3. Navigate to the project directory in your terminal.
4. Run the following command to start the application:

mvn spring-boot:run
