Stream helps companies build social apps. Many of today's most popular apps such as Instagram, Pinterest, Spotify and Runkeeper show content from the people you follow in realtime. Building this type of functionality in house is expensive and takes months to complete. Stream offers a hosted API based on cloud and big data best practises, which enables developers to add social functionalities to their apps in hours instead of months.
"While PubNub served us initially, scalability issues became apparent as our user base grew. Connectivity problems were affecting user experience, necessitating a change. The prior connection with Stream and positive interactions at Global Dating Insights (GDI) in London influenced our decision to switch."
"We had some existing, initial notifications infrastructure we built in-house—but when it came to the real-time updates and just how smoothly it (Stream) integrated and the time-frame we had, it didn't make sense to develop our in-house solution any further. When we saw that Stream ticked all the boxes, it was a clear choice."
"I am very familiar with everything that goes into building chat, When I started ShiftFlow, I knew right away — for a small team, building chat in-house is almost never a good call."
