Tiivistelmä
This thesis focuses on updating the chat technology of Company X's web platform. The goal was to enhance real-time communication and scalability, to make the application future-proof, ensuring a competitive edge in the ever-changing market. The need for this research arose from the outdated platform. It struggled with real-time interaction and data sync, relying on outdated technologies. Previous studies showed WebSocket's effectiveness for real-time communication. However, they also noted scalability issues under high loads.
The thesis aimed to find a solution and implement it, to improve communication and explore new ways to scale. It revamped the existing Python 2 application, adopting modern approach. It also added Socket.io in order to make chat- functionality operate in desirable, modern way. This boosted scalability and real-time data handling. The platform now performs better, supporting dynamic interactions and data exchange. The research's value lies in offering a scalable, efficient solution that can adapt to future needs. It concludes with recommendations for updates and testing to maintain competitiveness.
