Poc to show how to use spring reactive web with cockroach db in a chat application

Diagram

to run backend

backend/spring-boot:run

to run frontend

(once) npm install
ng serve

to run coackroach (on docker)

docker container run -p 26257:26257 -p 18080:8080 -d cockroachdb/cockroach:v19.2.1 start --insecure

run RabbitMQ ( on docker)

docker run -d -p 15672:15672 -p 5672:5672 -p 5671:5671 --hostname my-rabbitmq --name my-rabbitmq-container rabbitmq:3-management

run Kafka

if needed

this will be harder due to the way kafka cluster is set up. spring app needs to be ran in the same network...
not so good for localhost tryouts

docker swarm init (needed ? ) docker network create -d overlay --attachable kafka-net /spring-cloud-stream/deploy/kafka# docker stack deploy --compose-file=docker-compose.yml kafka

Management endpoint

http://localhost:15672/

Backend startup

If a valid connection to coackroach database exists, than the app will make sure the chat_message table exists

Limitations

Currently using a UnicastProcessor to allow pushing messages to frontend. In a distributed architecture, this will not work. A message queue or other kind of publisher should we used
