In the production application, the necessary images can then simply be pulled and launched from there. Otherwise, the service can be used publicly, whereas private rooms are password-protected.Įach push to the Bitbucket repository triggers a pipeline (defined in bitbucket-pipelines.yml) that automatically builds the Docker images and then pushes them to a public AWS ECR repository. In order to use the client website, the user must first authenticate with Spotify, which returns a JWT. The frontend and backend communicate with each other using WebSockets (based on socket.io) to enable real-time communication. MongoDB is used for persistence, hosted via MongoDB-Atlas.
