Serverless cacheless chat room

The idea is to play with Golang and push it's boundaries. Here, we build a binary that simulates a chatroom!

• Everyone who has this binary running on their machines, effectively starts their own chat!
• Start the binary using gochat --name Gautam --port 12345 --host 192.168.1.12
• It broadcasts on port 33333 to update any new chatroom about it's existance. Effectively, this is also a health check
• It listens on the port mentioned in the cmd line for any incoming requests for chatting.
• All communication is via gRPC so that we are very sure about the structure of the messages exchanges.
• Channels and Go-routines should be used to manage each chatroom for public and private messaging!

Innovate over this idea!

Learning from master branch

There are 9 steps which are marked in the code TODO-WORKSHOP-STEP-? which need to be implemented in order. Implement them and have fun!
