Bugs found on aws deployment

• [ ] Frequent disconnections from socket in collaboration service
  • Need to further investigate, maybe just sch wifi cmi
  • When 2 users are collaborating at the same time, it seems to be working fine sometimes, just a bit inconsistent.

Update:

The issue may be caused by proxying + pooling in API gateway, where API gateway will terminate the connections after a certain time. Load balancing also may be redirecting requests and not maintaining HTTP long polling connection. There are two solutions to this:

1. Changing from SocketIO to WebSocket for node:

   • API Gateway supports WebSocket API where we can just use $connect, $disconnect etc.
   • May be a huge overhaul of implementation and cause more issues, and may not guarantee it

2. Upgrading from using a central server to P2P connections:

   • Use central server as a caching mechanism and retrieve session details
   • Events are directly emitted to client:

Previously: Client1 -(Events)-> Server -(Events)-> Client2

New way under (2) Server <-(Cache)- Client1 <- (Events) -> Client2 -(Cache)-> Server

• [x] Profile dp file size exceed limits only works once, subsequent times toast does not show

  • For the first upload, the toast appears stating that the file size exceeds the 3MB. But subsequent images that exceed 3MB does not show

• [x] Make edit profile dp more obvious, and more intuitive (like adding an edit button to the dp and have a spinner while the new img uploads)

• [x] Signup still does not work on cloud deployment

  • it still passes http://localhost for the clicking of email verification link @tlyi @xingjie99 will this be a quick fix?
