Node.js WebSocket & REST API Microservice

A Node.js microservice designed to handle real-time WebSocket communication for hundreds of client applications. This Service is simultaneously serving RESTful API endpoints, designed for scalable, event-driven applications.

A scalable, dual-mode Node.js microservice designed to handle real-time WebSocket communication for hundreds of client applications. This Service is simultaneously serving RESTful API endpoints enabling seamless integration for interactive web/mobile apps and third-party systems. Each client application handles thousands of user requests daily, ensuring high performance and responsiveness under real-world load.

It includes features such as:

- Act as a broker between different remote clients and different platform users

- Can act as RESTful API server

- Accept and maintain multiple real-time web socket connections with remote clients

- Can accept requests from different platforms like web app, APIs, mobile app etc.

- Requests can be forwarded to the local remote clients for any CRUD operation

- The response from local remote client can be sent back to requesting user

The application was built with a focus on performance, security, and user experience.

Challenges

One of the main challenges was implementing a gateway server which will act as a bridge between hundreds of remote clients and thousands of internet users.

Solutions

I implemented a low-latency, scalable WebSocket Gateway Server System which will create & maintain hundreds of web-socket connection with remote clients. Each connection is serving thousands of internet user requests daily.
