So, it's 2019 and your boss just told you we need a new API that does CRUD operations as well as a WebSocket server.
Do you reach for Node.js? PHP...
For further actions, you may consider blocking this person and/or reporting abuse
Using Featherjs (Node based) or Loopback(IBM owned company) also Node.
Build out from there.
Also First my boss would be turned away at the door for no specs and requriements and a vetted project through PM :D
