Architecture

Relay uses a layered architecture:

Key components:

• WebSocket Handler – manages real-time bidirectional communication.
• REST API Layer – for control/configuration and non-real-time operations.
• Core Engine – message routing, user/session management, persistence.
• Storage / Broker – persistent messages, history, and scaling via broker if needed.
