Rails Chat App

A chat app built using Ruby on Rails, MySQL, Elastic Search, Redis, and SideKiq. The app allows clients to create applications that may have many chats for their applications according to the following criteria:

• The client creates a new application, gives it a name, and gets its token.
• The client can list all applications or get a specific application by its token.
• The client can create a new chat in a specific application using its token and get the number of the created chat.
• The client can list all application's chats or get a specific chat by its number and application token.
• For each chat, the client is able to create new messages by identifying the application's token and the chat's number.
• The client can search messages for a specific application and chat.
• Both the application and the chat have a field that indicates the count of related chats or messages accordingly, those fields are updated hourly.

This app is built using rails-6.1.4.1 and uses a MySQL database. It integrates with Elastic Search, SearchFlip, Redis, and SideKiq.
