Description

Hi, Excellent boilerplate! How about adding support for sockets in this to make a more complete boilerplate? Also instructions on deployment using Docker/native would be very helpful. Thanks.

Contributor guide

Research direction
Examine how sockets (e.g., Socket.IO) can be integrated into the existing Express boilerplate. Study the current server setup and routing structure to determine the best placement for socket logic. Also review common patterns for adding WebSocket support alongside REST APIs and consider deployment configuration changes.
