face2face is an asynchronous, non-blocking real-time instant messaging (IM) server built on Netty and Java NIO. It splits the system into three horizontally scalable services—auth (login/authentication), gate (client gateway), and logic (business logic)—communicating via protobuf-defined protocols with Redis for state.
Use cases
- build a real-time chat server in Java
- learn how to architect an IM system with Netty
- implement a gateway-based microservice chat backend
- run load tests against a high-concurrency messaging server
- study horizontal scaling of chat services with message queues
- add custom protocols to a Netty-based messaging pipeline
When to choose
- you want a lightweight, self-hosted IM backend in Java with Netty
- you need a reference architecture for splitting auth, gateway, and logic services
- you want to learn NIO-based, non-blocking server design with protobuf protocols
When to avoid
- you need a production-ready chat platform with no license and limited maintenance
- you want turnkey features like group chat, offline messages, or reconnection out of the box
- you prefer a managed or batteries-included IM solution rather than a learning-oriented codebase
