In this tutorial, we are going to build a real-time chat application using Vue.js powered by ChatKit, a service provided by Pusher. The ChatKit service will provide us with a complete backend necessary for building a chat application on any device, leaving us to focus on building a frontend user interface that connects to the ChatKit service via ChatKit client package.
