πŸ“Œ Chatter Box Application - Development Roadmap

This roadmap outlines the step-by-step development plan for the Chatter Box Application, a full-stack chat platform with AI integration. The project uses React (Frontend) and Spring Boot (Backend) with support for GPT, Grok, Bedrock, Claude, etc.


πŸš€ Phase 1: Project Setup & Configuration (Week 1)

Frontend (React)

βœ… Initialize React project using Vite or Create React App (CRA).
βœ… Install dependencies:

npm install react-router-dom axios socket.io-client tailwindcss

βœ… Set up project structure with components, services, and WebSocket handling.

Backend (Spring Boot)

βœ… Create a Spring Boot project using Maven.
βœ… Set up Spring WebSockets, Spring Security, and Spring Data JPA (PostgreSQL/MongoDB).
βœ… Configure CORS, WebSocket, and API routes.

Database Setup

βœ… Configure PostgreSQL / MongoDB for storing user data & messages.


πŸ” Phase 2: Authentication & User Management (Week 2)

Backend (Spring Boot)

βœ… Implement JWT-based authentication (Spring Security + OAuth2 support).
βœ… Create User API:

  • /register – User Signup
  • /login – User Login
  • /logout – User Logout
  • /profile – Get user details
    βœ… Store users in PostgreSQL/MongoDB.

Frontend (React)

βœ… Create Signup/Login UI.
βœ… Integrate JWT-based authentication using Axios.
βœ… Store tokens securely (localStorage / HttpOnly Cookies).


πŸ’¬ Phase 3: Real-Time Chat (Week 3-4)

Backend (Spring Boot)

βœ… Configure Spring WebSocket (STOMP protocol) for real-time messaging.
βœ… Create ChatController to handle WebSocket communication.
βœ… Save chat messages to the database.

Frontend (React)

βœ… Implement WebSocket client in React (websocket.js).
βœ… Build Chat UI (chat box, message list, typing indicators).
βœ… Handle message sending & receiving in real-time.


πŸ€– Phase 4: AI Model Integration (Week 5-6)

Backend (Spring Boot)

βœ… Implement AIController to support multiple AI models.
βœ… Create API to send user queries to selected AI models.
βœ… Implement AI response caching (Redis for fast access).

Frontend (React)

βœ… Add AI model selection UI (Dropdown for GPT, Grok, Bedrock, Claude).
βœ… Display AI responses dynamically.


πŸ“Ž Phase 5: Additional Features & Optimization (Week 7-8)

Backend (Spring Boot)

βœ… Add message history retrieval API.
βœ… Enable file sharing (AWS S3 / Firebase Storage).
βœ… Implement sentiment analysis & language translation.

Frontend (React)

βœ… Implement message history UI.
βœ… Add file upload & preview support.
βœ… Optimize performance (lazy loading, WebSocket reconnections).


☁️ Phase 6: Deployment & DevOps (Week 9-10)

Deployment

βœ… Deploy React frontend on Vercel / Netlify.
βœ… Deploy Spring Boot backend on AWS EC2 / DigitalOcean / Heroku.
βœ… Host PostgreSQL/MongoDB on AWS RDS / MongoDB Atlas.

CI/CD & Monitoring

βœ… Set up Docker & Kubernetes (optional).
βœ… Configure GitHub Actions / Jenkins for CI/CD.
βœ… Implement logging & monitoring (Prometheus, Grafana, ELK Stack).


πŸ› οΈ Phase 7: Testing & Enhancements (Week 11-12)

Testing

βœ… Write unit tests (JUnit for backend, Jest for frontend).
βœ… Perform integration tests for WebSockets & AI APIs.
βœ… Conduct user testing & bug fixes.

Enhancements

βœ… Add push notifications for new messages.
βœ… Improve UI/UX with animations & themes.
βœ… Implement end-to-end encryption for messages.


🎯 Final Phase: Scaling & Performance Optimization

Once core features are complete, focus on:
πŸ”Ή Scalability: Load balancing, horizontal scaling.
πŸ”Ή AI Fine-Tuning: Custom AI response tuning.
πŸ”Ή Advanced Features: Voice & video chat integration.
