The problem
Real-time chat has to keep many clients in sync with minimal latency while staying responsive across devices and handling sessions securely.
The solution

Architecture
Next.js client → Supabase realtime (WebSocket subscriptions) → PostgreSQL. Secure sessions and optimistic updates keep all clients coordinated.
