Hello guys, hope everyone's doing well
I just wanted to ask whether Nestjs is suitable for building real-time chat systems. And does it generally require Microservice related architecture.
Any documentations for chat systems with nest? And what other tools would I need that are most commonly supported with nest?
Thanks

One word: websockets.

There's a ton of articles online showing basic chat applications with socket.io. nest integrates well with socket.io and WS so you can use whichever you prefer. No need to go full on microservices
