Answer 5

I like to use a backend-as-a-service as it is more reliable, secure and available when your site is down. Pusher is my favorite, Firebase is also good.

For Pusher, you should create an account at pusher.com and select your tech stack. You will be directed to your dashboard.

Answer 6

Thanks, but it's not really what I need

Answer 7

But please do you know of any tutorials for making a messaging system

Answer 8

Ore isnt firebase is a bit too much ? i mean its fine on personal level and i would argue its easiest way to setup, but for normal app that used for real its already quite expensive i cant imagine the chat app.

i havent use pusher, but i like pubsub pattern
