We will be using the following backend nodejs + socket.io, and python+django.

Nodejs will be our main socket.io driver for the front end with react. This will allow us to create multiple microservice.

Django will be used for the authentication backend and to save the data. This will allow us to have a lot more data being processes via nodejs load balancers.

For the first testing iteration we will setup a nodejs+socket.io with a simple chat application. You can use expressjs to manage a temporary test front page to send/receive the data within nodejs.

Socket.io - server shall be used and start to think how to implement the namespace feature to create channels: https://socket.io/docs/rooms-and-namespaces/

We will be using a front end using React app. This will communicate with the nodejs via socket.io
