Real-Time Application Development
Build real-time collaborative applications where users see live updates instantly. From live chat and notifications to collaborative documents and live dashboards, we create applications that feel responsive and alive.
Real-time is no longer a luxury—it's expected. Users demand instant feedback and live data. We build applications that deliver real-time experiences at scale.
Real-Time Technology Stack
We implement real-time capabilities using proven technologies:
- WebSockets: Persistent bi-directional communication for true real-time
- Live Updating Feeds: Social feeds, notifications, and activity streams
- Collaborative Editing: Multiple users editing the same document simultaneously
- Live Chat & Messaging: Instant messaging with presence and typing indicators
- Live Data Dashboards: Real-time metrics and KPI dashboards updating live
- Multiplayer Experiences: Gaming, whiteboarding, or collaborative tools
Scalability & Performance
Real-time applications require careful architecture:
- Connection Management: Handle thousands of concurrent connections efficiently
- Message Broadcasting: Distribute updates to the right users instantly
- Conflict Resolution: Handle simultaneous edits with operational transformation
- Resilience: Automatic reconnection and data sync on network issues
- Security: Real-time authentication and authorization per message
- Optimization: Minimize bandwidth with efficient protocols and compression

Frequently Asked Questions
What technologies do you use for real-time?
We use WebSockets for server-client communication, Socket.io or similar libraries for connection management, and operational transformation algorithms for conflict-free collaborative editing.
Can real-time applications scale?
Yes. Real-time apps can handle thousands of concurrent connections with proper architecture. We use message queues, load balancing, and horizontal scaling to handle millions of users.
How much does real-time development cost?
Real-time applications typically cost 20-30% more than traditional apps due to infrastructure complexity. Costs range from $50,000 for simple real-time features to $200,000+ for complex collaborative platforms.
What about latency and performance?
We optimize for sub-second latency using efficient protocols, CDN-backed infrastructure, and regional servers. Most real-time features deliver <100ms latency.
