This is part 1 in a full tutorial on how to set up a React/Node.js/TypeScript chat app with a microservices architecture. In this project, I make use of:

• React;
• Node.js;
• TypeScript;
• Socket.IO;
• Docker and Docker Compose;
• GraphQL;
• TypeORM (with MySQL);
• Redux;
• Styled Components; and
• React Hook Form.

I hope you enjoy!

Happy coding!

Great tutorial. I'd suggest using a NoSQL-type database like MongoDB instead of MySQL.
