Scalable Java 11 Spring Boot WebFlux Chat Application to demonstrate use of Reactive Redis Pub/Sub using Reactive WebSocket Handler, without using any external Message Broker like RabbitMQ to sync messages between different instances.

The older non-reactive servlet based spring-redis-websocket application can be found in below links:

1. Spring-Boot 2.3: Java-11 version
2. Spring-Boot 1.5: Java-8 version

Ctrl + Click this button to deploy multiple instances of the spring-redis-websocket load balanced by NGINX:

Install and run Redis locally or on Docker.

To run Redis in Docker:

$ docker run -d -p 6379:6379 -e REDIS_PASSWORD=SuperSecretRedisPassword bitnami/redis:4.0.11-r6

$ git clone https://github.com/RawSanj/spring-redis-websocket.git

Build and run the spring-redis-websocket application:

$ cd spring-redis-websocket

$ mvn clean package

$ mvn spring-boot:run

Build the JAR file:

$ mvn clean package

Build docker image:

$ mvn spring-boot:build-image

Run docker image:

$ docker run -d -p 8080:8080 \
$ rawsanj/spring-redis-websocket

Run multiple instances of spring-redis-websocket locally load balanced via Ngnix connected to redis container in Docker:

$ cd src/main/docker
$ docker-compose up

1. Click Create Instance to quickly setup Docker host.
2. Install git by running:

$ apk add git --no-cache

3. Clone the repository:

$ git clone https://github.com/RawSanj/spring-redis-websocket.git

4. Run multiple instances of spring-redis-websocket:

1. Follow the instructions to create Kuberenetes cluster.
2. Install git by running:

$ yum install git -y

3. Clone the repository:

$ git clone https://github.com/RawSanj/spring-redis-websocket.git

4. Run multiple instances of spring-redis-websocket load balanced by native Kubernetes Service. All instances connected to a single Redis pod.

$ cd spring-redis-websocket
$ kubectl apply -f src/main/k8s
