Responsible for being a service for messaging

Database

I've built a database of the default Users, Added a Messages table, which contains all messages after being stored there and they are all readed, and made a NewMessages table for incoming, unreaded messages, in case its easier to work with... Wanted to use cache, but something went wrong with it, and it was worse
