Architecture

Service Overview

• How this service works
  • How do you deploy to both devices Android & IOS ?
    • By using ReactNative, you can replace native mobile development with javascript
  • How do you plan to handle if there are many requests?
    • Basically, the server is developed in a direction that allows scale out
    • For scale out, event sharing and query caching are conducted using Redis
    • Finally, it will go up to the container via docker and the number of containers will be automatically adjusted through kubernetes
    • Static data such as images are stored in S3 storage and can be quickly received through cdn like cloudfront
• Chat Rules
  • Authentication
    • JWT tokens are given through authentication. The token will be refreshed in the middle and remain in the device's asyncstorage for automatic login
    • Considering Scalability, I used the passport library for login. In the future, Facebook and KakaoTalk login will be supported separately from email login
  • Chating
    • Chatting takes place in real time, and message notifications are sent even when you are not in the Chat tab
  • About Recommendation System
    • We will calculate tastes and scores based on user-to-user evaluation
    • The evaluation will be conducted by at least 30 people, a standard that can approximate the normal distribution
    • Like Netflix, we will increase user satisfaction based on the recommendation algorithm
