Contest Brief

I have a project and I am looking for alternative ideas in how to implement. Additionally if you are able to implement as well as propose then a further project could be created in order to award development.

The project has to do with a chat server application, similar to banter and/or what's up etc.

The point is to create a pure api server serving all requests and on top of that create the relevant mobile apps to make use of the api server.

My idea and my opinion is to use ruby on rails to create the api server and mongo db to handle all the database requirements.

After that I suggest using titanium to create the mobile apps for ios and android.

What I need from you is alternative design ideas as well as to elaborate on this design with details and or parts that I have missed out.

IF I receive a response that covers my needs or even expands on them with interest then I will award the competition with the option to award the full project if the person is capable. (in that case please include your quotation for creating such api server and mobile apps)

Let me know of questions so I can clarify more.

Thank you

      To use a MEAN stack I understand and that is ok. How amI to use redis and mongo at the same time ?

      The MEAN stack is a favourable option for you and in fact, could prove to be a good deployment option. I suggested REDIS as an in-memory DB for you to base your chat use case on. REDIS basically works very well in managing rapidly changing data in an in-memory paradigm. For the rest of the persistence concerning your apps, you may use MONGODB.

    I don't think if titanium will give best UX on using the application.

      I think for the server, Java is the best so far I used for my previous project. Looking forward to discuss it

      I believe JAVA to be very heavy and we do require a fast non I/O blocking system. I believe node.js to be a great option. If titanium is not that good then your suggestion will be ?

      Yes that is exactly what I am asking. Additionaly I am asking for commenting on the current idea as far as validity of design and tools to be used. Thank you
