Summary

Section 2.3 (Real-Time Services) underpins SUM+1’s live collaboration environment. By combining Socket.io for instant messaging and event broadcasting with WebRTC for voice/video, the platform provides a truly immersive and interactive experience. Key takeaways include:

• Modular Socket.io architecture, allowing distinct modules for chat, trading signals, presence, and video calls.

• Robust Signaling for WebRTC, enabling P2P voice/video sessions that replicate the immediacy of in-person trading floors.

• Scalability via Redis adapters, load balancers, and worker orchestration—ensuring high availability as user numbers grow.

• Security integrated at every level, from JWT-based connection auth to potential E2E encryption for private channels.

These real-time capabilities position SUM+1 as more than just a crypto dashboard—it’s a social trading ecosystem where users can communicate, strategize, and act on market data in real time, all while forging deeper connections with fellow traders.
