Objective: Building a chat room website which can have chat rooms where multiple people join and spam chat.

Must achieve: I want the client side to as light as possible it should not consume gigs of ram. I want to build it to support (5k-6k) concurrent users. Don't care about scaling, so avoiding any practices which can be avoided for expected traffic.

Tech stack: I'm building it just for learning. I want to use mongodb, reactjs, express and nodejs with socket.io, open to adding necessary technology.

What are the things I need to do, to make sure project works as expected ?

If anyone could give me "to do pointers" that'd be great.

Thank you.

It sounds like a good stack, what kind of pointers are you looking for? I think you should start by breaking it down into manageable steps, and just go for it. Usually you have to try to build something before knowing what issues you'll run into. And you will learn a lot.
