Our take
Ably's realtime APIs expose the entire Ably infrastructure to developers, making it easier to integrate real-time data flows and therefore to power functionality at any scale.
Developers are increasingly looking to utilise real-time data to facilitate new kinds of services e.g in the Internet of Things or monitoring stock prices. Introducing massive flows of realtime data has previously been technically difficult.
The company believes its product is set apart from other real-time platform-as-a-service providers because it features out-the-box products that are developer-friendly as well as secure.
The company expresses this developer-friendly approach through a variety of channels, including masterclasses as well as products like its unique offering of reliable message ordering. In 2023, it partnered with Netlify Integrations Hub.
