This was developed as an excercise in building network servers in Golang. The server upgrades HTTP connection to the WebSockets protocol, and all further communcations are done using a binary protocol with payload being sent as ArrayBuffer. The server is conceptually similar to Slack/HipChat -like servers. It supports private and public channels/rooms, direct communications between users, keeps messages history and more. Currently, server supports MS SQL Server as the store.
