Task Necessity

• Eventually, we want our internal application to have real-time features, like the issue map or chatting, or live updating.

Task Description / Solution Requirements

• Your task is to create a backend pattern to support websockets and, emitting and receiving events. This should in theory be abstracted from frontend, although events can be defined here.
• The websocket should be able to be connected to, receive events, and then broadcast to connected clients.
• Start with a simple chat functionality proof-of-concept.

Authorizations (if applicable)

• Account level

Test Requirements
