Run instructions

The project is separated into client/server directories. You'll need to install the dependencies for both directories In client directory: yarn or npm install In server directory: yarn or npm install You'll also need a postgres and redis database for the app to run. If you have docker you can run yarn docker or npm run docker on a separate terminal window from the server directory to start an instance of postgres and redis simultaneously

Alternatively: You can run the entire project using the k8s branch by running docker-compose up --build:

Clone

$ git clone https://github.com/grantkang5/discord-clone.git
$ git fetch
$ git checkout k8s

and start with docker-compose

$ docker-compose up --build

Why?

This app was built with the purpose for being a guideline for using currently trending technologies in full-stack javascript web applications. Design patterns and architectures are structured around microservices with a graphql server used to cover all communication between servers. Redis is used to help and support keep track of ongoing live activity and subscriptions.
