1. Real Authentication: Add API endpoints for user registration/login
2. Database: Connect PostgreSQL or another database
3. Video Integration: Integrate WebRTC, Daily.co, or similar services
4. User Management: Add user profiles and room management

See DEPLOYMENT.md for more detailed deployment instructions.
