What is our chat server?

[chinmay.sahoo]

This is something you should discuss with your interviewer, but let’s make a couple of assumptions: imagine we’re designing a basic chat server that needs to support a small number of users. People have a contact list, they see who is online vs offline, and they can send text-based messages to them. We will not worry about supporting group chat, voice chat, etc. We will also assume that contact lists are mutual: I can only talk to you if you can talk to me. Let’s keep it simple.
