Part 4:Exploring an Event-Based Full-Stack Architecture

In this part of the book, we will depart from traditional full-stack architectures and explore a special kind of full-stack architecture: event-based applications. Examples of event-based applications are apps that deal with real-time data, such as collaborative applications (e.g., Google Docs, online whiteboard, etc.) or financial applications (e.g., Kraken crypto exchange). We are first going to develop an event-based backend using Express and Socket.IO. Then, we are going to create a frontend to consume and send events. Lastly, we will add persistence and functionality to replay events to our app using MongoDB.

This part includes the following chapters:

• Chapter 13, Building an Event-Based Backend Using Express and Socket.IO
• Chapter 14, Creating a Frontend to Consume and Send Events
• Chapter 15, Adding Persistence to Socket.IO Using MongoDB
