Live chat, multiplayer collaboration, and notifications usually mean extra infrastructure to manage. That cuts against the reason many teams deploy on Netlify in the first place.
Ably is now available on the Netlify Integrations Hub, so you can add realtime features without leaving your workflow.
What you can add
Ably joins the Hub’s selection of ready-to-use integrations. Netlify developers can use it to add five common realtime patterns to their web apps:
- Multiplayer collaboration
- Live chat
- Data synchronization
- Data broadcast
- Notifications
Why it fits the Netlify workflow
Netlify takes frontend teams from code to a globally deployed web app in minutes. You skip the servers, DevOps, and infrastructure costs.
As you build and deploy, you can find Ably in the Integrations Hub and add interactive features to your app from there.
What Ably handles
Ably provides the infrastructure and APIs behind shared and collaborative experiences. Developers at thousands of companies use the platform to add realtime features at scale.
You don’t provision or manage the underlying infrastructure yourself. You still decide which features your app needs and how they behave.
