rabbitmq is used to communicate between services. I just introduced it but it will be used to: - handle websockets communication with the client - create workqueues for new items creation/rescan requests - Watch list syncing with external services - and to synchronize different replicas when deployed on k8s (still need work on this point tho)

I'm not here to talk you out of rabbitmq now that you've already added it for this project, but IMO it's worth taking a look at PG notify/listen and keeping it in mind for simple use cases.

It's not nearly as powerful but it can be a pretty good starting point before pulling in more dependencies.

Are you running your own websocket server or just spinning up soketi in a container?

For now, I'm not doing anything, websocket is next-release big change. I did not know about soketi tho, i'll take a look.

If you're in dotnet land, I'd recommend looking at magic onion [0] or memorypack [1]. It'll be much nicer to work with once you have a decent pile of message types. Otherwise it's easy to end up in an entity framework like situation where you're constantly serializing and deserializing, generating serializer wrappers, doubling up on dtos and schemas, etc. Although any of the cysharp libs are great in dotnet, definitely recommend checking out their back catalogue.
