What’s Been Added Since Part 3?

Real time tweets are streamed over a websocket server. I know part 3 ended off with better tests coming next, but that didn’t seem worthy of a dedicated post.

The good news is there’s a lot higher test coverage now and the tests have been re-worked quite a bit. The important bits of the app have very high test coverage.

Twitter stream

• Connect to Twitter’s streaming API
• Read in tweets as they come in

Broadcast queue

• Broadcast the stream events through a rate limited task queue

Paid members can view it in a browser

CLI additions

• run routes to get a list of all available routes
• run stream to listen, broadcast or fake broadcast to the websocket server

On the Horizon

A lot of refactoring to clean up and normalize the code base. Now that we have a lot of test coverage, this is the perfect time for doing that.
