“By the time our event happened, there was a new performance-oriented component in the [Stream] SDK that we were able to integrate within a few hours, We had no issues with chat performance during the event.”

"We put that up on Hackernews, and within a few hours, it went to number one. The site started crashing because we had public Dropbox links. The head of engineering for Dropbox happened to look at the Hackernews post and said that they’d upgrade us to the maximum pro plan for the day. They’re not supposed to be used for public Dropbox links, but he said they’d keep the site up because they think it’s cool. And that was day one of Unsplash."

“Our community is by far the number one thing that differentiates us from our competition, Stream helps make Benzinga an actual community. Whether it’s discussing the hot stock of the day, responding to technical questions, or encouraging users to attend our daily virtual happy hours, Stream Chat is an integral way we support our members."

“We expect this event to really take off, and the chat functionality will certainly be utilized to drive engagement.”

“Youth will have the opportunity to log in during the live show, and we’ll specifically ask viewers to use the chat to participate in contests, ask questions, and win prizes. We anticipate some very large viewership numbers for this event and a lot of activity in the chat box.”

"Dabble is a global sports wagering business that has products in Australia and the US at the moment. The Australian product is a traditional sportsbook that allows customers to bet on sports and racing events with fixed odds betting. The US product is more of a daily fantasy player statistics product where customers can place an entry on player projections."

"Episode is an interactive storytelling platform, and we use chat for our book club feature. Our main goal is to mirror real-life book clubs. We want to create a space for players to connect, communicate, and earn rewards for the stories they're reading together."

"When we first started, we looked at Stream's Chat SDKs and APIs to understand the scope of work. We saw that the APIs were very easy to use, and the chat documentation was very thorough. From there, something that Stream offered, and we were very happy to take them up on, was a design review of our code and UI, which we did for our iOS and Android experiences."

“Zumper is for anyone seeking to move into rental real estate. Landlords using Zumper range from large property management companies to individuals who are renting out their spare bedroom."

"Teamworks is the operating system for sports. We started out with messaging and calendar functionalities and expanded to forms after that, but we've moved into nutrition, social media, and performance management. Just about everybody in a professional sports organization will interact with Teamworks at some point in their day. If Microsoft powers offices, Teamworks is what powers the backend of a sports organization."

"A challenge we faced was syncing messages between all of the different devices users may have. We leveraged Firebase and were able to solve that problem. It solved the original needs, but we ran into other challenges as our audience grew. At that moment, we had two options: one, we could keep iterating, or two, we could go with a provider who does that best to continue doing what we do best."

"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."

“Stream is pretty much a decision we made in the past and we don’t constantly have to worry about it. I think that’s a sign of great software because it allows our team to focus on building unique solutions.”

"The main issue we had was that our server with Sendbird was located in Japan while our users were located in the UK. We experienced a lot of latency loading the chat and sending new messages. Our original plan was to migrate to another Sendbird server in Europe, but they did not provide adequate support, so we decided to thoroughly evaluate other chat providers and eventually decided to use Stream."

“Building out feed technology is quite a challenge. We made the mistake of trying to build it ourselves, and we were just stuck. From a feature perspective, we couldn’t build something as robust as what Stream can provide. I’m simply amazed at how certain features, such as ranking, work. Stream is also very easy to implement and their team has been responsive on Slack!”
