Welcome

ETHOS is a basic full-stack chat application hosted on Render and serving as a portfolio project. It is built with the following tech stack:

• NextJS for the UI and the intermediate backend;
• Express HTTP JSON API that sets cookie;
• Redis Cache hosted on Upstash (free tier) that holds user session data;
• Postgres Database hosted on Neon (free tier);
• Native WebSockets, tied to user session for authentication;
