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.

New Swift SDK

2019-08

Learn, grow, evolve. Get better! That's our focus at PubNub and we see this in action each and every day. And with our Swift SDK - maybe Swift? - we've learned a whole bunch of the past couple of years. First, people don't want a thin wrapper around Objective C! They want to code in Swift. They want to think Swift. They don't want to think Objective C or feel like they're interacting with code that is meant for another language. Second, well, I think the first lesson was enough. So we're happy to announce the availability of our new Swift SDK. And when we say "Swift", we mean it!

Customer Support Chat in Portal

2019-06

Integrating chat into your applications is a great way to improve customer experience. We here at PubNub see this all of the time! People - wanting to buy, use or understand - are looking for answers to their questions. Cranking up an email or picking up the phone are way too time consuming! Chat is a great way to connect customers to people who can help and we are glad to announce the availability of the Customer Support feature in the PubNub Portal. Now you can click on the chat icon to interact with a human. Ask questions! Give feedback! We are here to support you in your real-time efforts!

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.
