How complex is it to write your own chat server?
If you write your own chat server with Whatsapp like functionalities (1:1 messages, group chat, communities, file upload, typing indicator,read receipts, reply, block user, remove from group, mark a message as important etc.) from scratch for both backend and frontend. Would you consider it as a proper SDE II level skill or above? I’m not expecting it to handle Whatsapp scale but it should be able to handle a few lakh users
