In a microservice architecture, you usually should not put WebSocket logic inside every microservice.

A common approach is to create a dedicated WebSocket Gateway / Realtime Service.

The architecture can be:

Frontend
   |
   | WebSocket connection
   v
Realtime Gateway Service
   |
   | REST / gRPC / Message Broker
   v
Chat Service / User Service / Notification Service
