Customer reviews
We use Ably Realtime for all of our all of our WebSocket needs
It just works
Uptime has been almost 100% since we started using Ably in 2016.
Engineering Manger
Excellent performance, feature set, value, and developer support
The Ably SDKs are well documented and easy to use, and the implementation behaves exactly as expected from the docs. We have been delighted with the support provided by the Ably team, who are available seemingly day and night. And the few times we've had questions in their off hours, the Ably community on Discord has been very helpful.
Last but certainly not least, we were able to develop our entire app and test it with users in production environments before we ever committed to a paid contract with Ably. This allowed us to fully explore the platform without the time pressure of a "free trial period." As an open-source provider on a shoestring budget, this set Ably well apart from other providers we looked at.
