Multiplayer server (WIP)

This project is about creating a centralized cloud-based collaborative text editor using CRDTs. For a great explanation about CRDTs, I recommend watching Martin Kleppmann's video about the subject.

The project consists of 2 separate servers:

1. An HTTP server written in Golang. The code can be found in the internal and pkg directories
2. A WebSocket server written in Rust using Axum. The code can be found in the websocket directory

The HTTP server currently supports the following features:

• Logging with zerolog
• File storage in Azure Blob Storage
• Simple JWT authentication, users stored in Postgres DB
• Document creation and listing endpoint

The WebSocket server currently supports the following features:

• y-crdt document persistence in Postgres DB
• WebSocket endpoint to receive real-time updates

The client code used to connect to this server can be found at multiplayer-client
