Scaling a realtime chat app on AWS using Socket.io, Redis, and AWS Fargate
In the last article we deployed a realtime chat application using AWS Fargate. The result was a containerized Node.js process running a socket.io server. This container runs in AWS Fargate without needing a single EC2 server on the AWS account.
Building a Socket.io chat app and deploying it using AWS Fargate
This article walks through the process of building a chat application, containerizing it, and deploying it using AWS Fargate. The result of following along with this guide will be a working URL hosting a public, realtime chat web app.

This article explores application architecture patterns, starting from the venerable monolithic application, to smaller microservices, and finally the most granular pattern of all: functions as a service.
Microservice Testing: Unit Tests
The previous article introduced the test pyramid, and some of the basics of how to apply it to a distributed system: This article zooms in on the unit test layer of the testing pyramid and explores ways to build effective unit tests for distributed systems such as microservice deployments.
