REALTIME INFRASTRUCTURE TAKEN CARE OF
Ably makes realtime just work - without it, our product would literally stop
working - but it is so much more than that. The support and communication are
just outstanding and that is huge for us - we really see Ably as a partner in
our growth.
Max Freiert
Product Group Lead, Hubspot
Most of our customers rely on the realtime dashboard, so any failure would be a
serious issue. but Ably is so solid, it's 100% reliable. On top of that, it's
the only HIPAA-compliant realtime solution capable of integrating with Kafka
streams and giving us the performance guarantees we need.
Andrew Hanisch
System Architect, Experity
Ably copes easily with big loads generated by multiple presentations happening
simultaneously across the globe. We don't have to worry about stability, even
when we get huge traffic spikes. Ably is a key partner for us, one that we refer
to as 'Enably' in the team.
Johan Bengtsson
CTO, Mentimeter
The fact that Ably had proactively thought of using multiple CDNs just like we
do at Split was fantastic. It really reassured me that Ably took things
seriously and that we could depend on its platform.
Pato Echagüe
CTO and Co-founder, Split

customers is Ably. We sleep easier at night knowing it can be relied on for
consistent low latency and message integrity at scale.
