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.
"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."
"We built a very effective text-only chat, but because it lacked customization, we received feedback from users that they would instead use off-platform messengers that had the features they wanted."
"It really just made sense to buy a commercially available product. We're not in a 'build' business. We're in the business of building marketplaces, not of building chat products."
