Develop and deliver real-time interactivity
Overview
Our platform helps developers build, deliver, and manage real-time interactivity for web apps, mobile apps, and IoT devices.
Whether businesses need in-app or in-game chat, live audience engagement, multi-user collaboration, or any other form of real-time functionality, we help bring it to life with our suite of purpose-built real-time APIs , SDKs, Solution Kits, and integrations.
The foundation of our platform is the industry’s largest and most scalable real-time edge messaging network. With over 15 points-of-presence worldwide supporting 800 million monthly active users, and 99.999% reliability, you’ll never have to worry about outages, concurrency limits, or any latency issues caused by traffic spikes.
Features
Pub/Sub Messaging
Our publish and subscribe APIs deliver one-to-one or one-to-many messages, globally, in less than 100ms. Users can also upload/share files, send read receipts, add reactions such as emojis, and never have to worry about losing a message thanks to Message Persistence.
Presence
Presence monitors the subscribers of channels and lets you display online/offline status indicators and audience counts.
Push Notifications
With push notifications, you can deliver important messages fast and reliably to both iOS and Android devices even when users aren’t active in your mobile application.
Access Manager
Access Manager is a cryptographic, token-based permission administrator that lets you set permissions and regulate access to resources like channels, channel groups, and User IDs.
Objects
Objects provides easy-to-use, serverless storage and event notification for user and channel metadata, channel members and memberships.
Functions
Because our infrastructure is programmable and everything is computed at the edge for low latency, you can run your code within our network or leverage existing integrations to transform, re-route, augment, filter, aggregate messages, and more.
Events & Actions
Centrally manage all the events that are happening in your application's ecosystem and optionally trigger additional business logic to connect these events to the rest of your application infrastructure.
Solution Kits
Use our chat solution kits to get chat functionality up and running quickly. With support for React, React Native, Android, and iOS, we give you the UI components and data components necessary to minimize engineering time and get to market faster.
Edge Messaging Network
Our real-time edge messaging network currently supports over 800 million monthly active users with trillions of messages being sent. With over 15 points-of-presence (PoPs) across the globe, 99.999% uptime SLAs, redundancy, geographic server distribution, geo-routing, latency monitoring, and enterprise scale and reliability, you’ll never have to worry about building infrastructure or disruptions caused by spikes in traffic.
Security & Compliance
We provide built-in point-to-point and end-to-end encryption along with fine grained authorization model, and we require no inbound open ports, which helps prevent attacks on your infrastructure. Plus, we support compliance for regulatory environments that include HIPAA, GDPR, SOC2 Type 2, and CCPA.
