How to implement In-App Messaging?

Find a simple github repo / some tutorial with similar features and reuse the code.

Alternatively, develop it yourself with tools for realtime communication like Pusher or https://mercure.rocks/

I gues it is not hard to do prototype, simple logic with WS or another way.

Problem will comes when you will scale your app.

There are multiple ways to build In-App Messaging

1. Custom solution that gives you more control
2. SaaS products like Firebase, PubNub, or SendBird provide robust and scalable solutions for in-app messaging. They offer features like one-to-one messaging, group chats, push notifications, and more. Though they might be costly
3. If cost is a concern, you might want to consider open-source alternatives like Rocket Chat or Mattermost

Remember, the best choice depends on your specific needs, resources, and the scale of your application.

If your priority is to add the feature asap I would go with a SAAS offering. Stream SDK has a decent makers plan. Once you hit those limits you could build your own chat system.

Implementing in-app messaging can be a game changer for user engagement, as we see in the A-League. Just as the A-League keeps fans on the edge of their seats , a well-integrated messaging system keeps users engaged and engaged within the app. It's about creating a seamless experience that captivates your audience.

Try SAAS services like PubNub, Pusher, Sendbird . For fancy features, you gotta build it yourself but it costs more.

If you are a senior software engineer you can built this. However it is hard to create something robust that can be scaled. I don't know why some people say the opposite

I've come across https://novu.co/ recently. Might be worth checking that out.

Breaking changes! If wasn't that, I would pick any of the available services. So I build it.

Not worth it don't do it.
