Build a Production Microservices & Self-Host It (RabbitMQ, Redis, Docker)

Learn how to build a production-ready microservices chat application from scratch and deploy it using Docker Compose & Dokploy for self-hosting!

In this complete tutorial, we'll build a Slack/Discord-style chat app using a modern microservices architecture with 4 services:

✅ API Gateway - Single entry point for all client requests
✅ Auth Service - User registration, login & JWT tokens (MySQL)
✅ User Service - User profiles & data management (PostgreSQL)
✅ Chat Service - Conversations & messages (MongoDB + Redis caching)

All services communicate through RabbitMQ for event-driven messaging, ensuring they stay decoupled and scalable.
