Our take
Despite the hyper-connected world of today, developers struggle to build fully connected applications due to the reliance of servers. Servers result in low-latency communication, a problem that seems both archaic and totally approachable.
PubNub provides a real-time network IaaS for companies and users to send and manage data between the internet-of-things. The company provides API tools for secure and low-latency communication within digital events, bidirectional monitoring, and connectivity between applications.
Boasting over 800 million device connections a month, plus a host of valuable use cases, PubNub appears to have well and truly landed in the space. It is well funded, and has been focussed on both geographical expansion and enhancing the functionality of its platform - for example with the addition of React native chat UI components to its product portfolio.
