In this chapter, we are going to venture a bit further with Nuxt to see how we can use it to work with other frameworks for making real-time apps. We will continue using Koa as the backend API but "enhance" it with RethinkDB and Socket.IO. In other words, we will turn our backend API into a real-time API with these two awesome frameworks and tools. At the same time, we will turn our frontend Nuxt app into a real-time Nuxt app with help from them as well. You can develop these two real-time apps on the single-domain approach if you prefer. However, this book favors the cross-domain approach so that we don't mix up the frontend and the backend dependencies and get confused over time. So, this will be another interesting and exciting chapter for you to learn from!
