Getting started with realtime APIs
Realtime APIs instantly push data to endpoints – which can range from the actual endpoints of an API (the technical term) to external businesses or end users. Realtime refers to a synchronous, bi-directional communication channel between endpoints at a speed of less than 100ms. A simple example of a realtime user experience is that of a chat app. In a chat app, you ‘immediately’ (sub 100ms) see messages from the person (endpoint) you’re chatting with, and can receive information about when they read your messages (synchronous, bi-directional).
This hub acts as a resource to guide you towards the realtime solution that meets your product and organization’s needs.
