SpringBoot WebSocket MicroService Application

Spring Boot WebSocket MicroService Chat Appplication

WEBSOCKET: Websocket protocol is one of the ways to make your application handle real-time messages.

STOMP: Stomp is an acronym for Simple Text Oriented Messaging Protocol, for interacting with any STOMP message broker. It defines a handful of frame types that are mapped onto WebSockets frames, e.g., CONNECT, SUBSCRIBE, UNSUBSCRIBE, ACK, or SEND. On one hand, these commands are very handy to manage communication while, on the other, they allow us to implement solutions with more sophisticated features like message acknowledgment.
