Chat application in Corona

Getting Started Newbie Questions
#1

Hello,

I want to implement a chat module in my application where user can chat one to one and also send images. User base for my application will be large.

For the same purpose, I have tried Noobhub which needs to run node.js on global server. All of its examples are running local server. I don’t know how to make it possible for global server.

I have also tried PubNub for the same purpose. But it is also paid for use in more than 20 devices. Similar case in Photon.

I am very new to this and need a proper solution for the same.

Can anyone please tell me what method should I use in this case?

Try QuickBlox (www.quickblox.com).

It has a chat module (http://quickblox.com/developers/Chat) with a REST API you can use with Corona and they have a free tier with up to 20,000 monthly active users and 20 messages/sec, plus the same for push notifications.

Why not just use Google Play Game Services or GameCenter? 

All of that stuff is pretty much built in, just add your users to a room then use the message functions.
