How to Architecture & Ship a Real-Time Messaging Engine in 10 Minutes
Building production-grade real-time chat from scratch is historically painful. You have to write low-level WebSocket logic, handle reconnection drops, set up media storage pipelines, configure database schemas, and deal with offline push notification routing.To solve this, we built a turnkey full-stack starter engine on top of modern Managed Backend-as-a-Service (BaaS) architecture (Supabase / Firebase / Stream).If you're building a social app, SaaS platform, or internal chat tool and want to sk
