Introducing PubNub Signals

Typing, typing, all the time? Or thinking about your place in the world constantly, from a lat/long perspective? Trying to send that data through PubNub and finding it a bit too expensive? Well, guess what? We have heard the need and are responding! With the introduction of PubNub Signals, customers can send and receive this type of data - think small bits of information necessary to drive a process or an app, e.g. show whether or not someone is typing - at far cheaper costs than a normal PubNub publish and subscribe.

Introducing Objects API (Beta)

2019-08

The act of building real-time applications has changed over the years. Or better: nowadays, developers are expecting more out of their real-time platforms. Sure, messaging is important but so is the application data scaffolding. If you're building chat, you need chat rooms and users. If you're building real-time exercise events, you need spaces and users. And these data objects are long lived, not transitory in nature, which what the messaging data is, for the most part. To address this need to build more of the real-time application using PubNub, we're launching the Objects API.

Platform Upgrade: HTTP/2 Support

2019-05

One of the benefits of using PubNub is not having to worry about underlying communication protocols. Messaging simply works, in real time and very, very fast. However, sometimes protocols, like MQTT and HTTP, do matter. In the web world, HTTP/2 is the new standard, with more and more web applications and properties supporting by the day. PubNub is pleased to announce that our APIs now support processing requests made over HTTP/2. Broader native support in the SDKs will be rolled out over time. Please contact PubNub Support for more information.
