  • The program is depend on the Redis database for chat pairing data access now. If you abstract the data access behavior,
    You can support the use of other databases.
• Implement something to prevent resource competition
  • When the number of users is large,
    There may be a situation where a queue is matched to different people.
• Globalization
  • Match by user's language
  • Reply based on user's language (Default:English)
