The context

As part of a school project, we created an application and a website to experiment with the challenges of real-time communication.

Parallelism vs concurrency (Rob Pike)Reflexion about Go (Deepu K Sasidharan)

What I learn :

  • Frontend with React JS (Desktop):
  • I created a login system with roles: administrator and users
  • I set up a CRUD to manage user data
  • I have implemented transversal data management with the Zustand state manager and hooks
  • With a colleague we created the API calls in Golang via the native JavaScript API "Fetch"
  • Frontend with React Native (Application):
  • On this part I created certain API calls and I created interfaces to iterate on the chat rooms
  • Backend in Golang:
  • With a colleague I created the middlware and the API routes with the chi router library
  • Points of complexity: we had to manage several chat rooms.
  • I helped create the websockets using the gorilla websocket library
  • Developer Experience (DX) and Production Release:
  • I configured Docker to work with Golang and the front in React JS with functional hot reloading
  • I made my colleagues' lives easier by creating simple commands via a makefile.
  • I also used Docker to put into production using "Render" for the API and "Vercel" for the frontend
