Sockets live chat and DBs

Hey guys,

With the new update (thank you Wappler team, truly brilliant work @George, @patrick and @Teodor) I was wondering what everyone’s thoughts are on live chat.

Without knowing this was coming, I started looking into and planned to use the Twilio chat, plus GetStream for handling notificatons (I might still) - and wondered for chat, considering the volume that can appear, would it be recommended or normal practise for chat to have it’s entire own DB, or a table in the existing DB would be considered fine?

UPDATE:
Did a bit of research on this, this morning - it does appear most tend to create a new DB specifically for this. Postgres seems to be a popular choice. Still keen to hear any opinions on this!
