Needs adviceonReactReactReduxReduxFeathersJSFeathersJS

I have always been interested in building a real-time multiplayer game engine that could be massively scalable, and recently I decided to start working on a MMO version of the classic "snake" game. I wanted the entire #Stack to be based on ES6 JavaScript so for the #Backend I chose to use FeathersJS with MongoDB for game/user data storage, Redis for distributed mutex and pub/sub, and Socket.IO for real-time communication. For the #Frontend I used React with Redux, the FeathersJS client as well as HTML5 canvas to render the view.

Our latest products launched have been focused on the integration of AI systems for enriched conversations. Google Compute Engine , along with Dialogflow and Cloud Firestore have been important tools for this work.

Git + GitHub + Visual Studio Code is a killer stack.

As a technology consultation provider, Cenacle works with customers from various domains including Automotive, Healthcare, Retail, Energy and BFSI, on solutions ranging from IIOT, Blockchain, EHR, SmartContracts, DevOps, Predictive Analytics etc.

To be able to successfully deliver such varied solutions in a timely manner, we need architectures and frameworks that allow reuse and rapid-development. For majority of our solutions, we use micro-services architecture with backend data controlled through RESTful resources, sockets and flexible data-base plug-ins.

FeathersJS is a realtime, microservices web framework for Node.js that suited all our above requirements.
