From a content perspective, the documentation is good - instructions are generally clear and don’t leave room for interpretation. The getting started guide is easy to follow - if anything, the process is a bit tedious due to the number of steps involved. The code samples are good throughout. Official docs don’t contain a lot of tutorials - there’s barely any. It would have been good to see (more) use case-focused tutorials and demos. You can easily forget about the API reference, which is only listed on the docs homepage, but it’s not referenced in the developer guide at all.” | 2.33 / 5 Getting started guides / 5 Information architecture and developer journey / 5 API reference documentation / 5 Readability, design and navigation / 5 Quality of code / 5 Breadth and quality of tutorials / 5 “tenefit.cloud documentation is schematic and not informative. It gives you a very quick overview of the solution and some other lightweight details on usage. There are no technical details about how tenefit.cloud works, nothing about the quality of service, reconnections, conflation, deltas, or any of the features mentioned on the product page. There’s no API reference to consume because tenefit.cloud uses SSE APIs in the browser rather than provide proprietary APIs. At least the docs are designed in a readable way, and the nav is intuitive. However, with almost no getting started guides, seldom code snippets, only a couple of simplistic tutorials, and no depth in general, tenefit.cloud documentation is opaque and insufficient for developers.“ |
Dashboard or dev console Reviewed by 3+ independent developers Sign up for free and explore Ably's pub/sub messaging platform | 5 / 5 Ease of use / 5 Stats and reports / 5 Functionality / 5 “The Amazon SQS console allows you to perform queue-related CRUD operations easily. In addition, for each queue, you can manage various settings, such as Lambda triggers, access policy, or encryption. The console also allows you to monitor various metrics, such as the size of messages added to a queue or the number of messages available for retrieval from a queue. The functionality is intuitive, and the dev console is pretty easy to use once you learn your way around it a bit. As a minus, the UI, while simple, is quite boring and dry”. | 2.67 / 5 Ease of use / 5 Stats and reports / 5 Functionality / 5 “tenefit.cloud has a simplistic console, which allows you to connect to Kafka topics and map them to front end URLs that clients can subscribe to. It is easy to use since there are only a few actions you can perform. The UI is simple and unpolished. The functionality is limited, and there is practically no reporting available, no way to do debugging, and not even an advanced setting.“ |

API structure Reviewed by 3+ independent developers | 4 / 5 API consistency across SDKs / 5 Well structured / 5 Intuitive / 5 Simple / 5 “The Amazon SQS APIs are well described, intuitively named, and overall easy to understand. The API structure is decently consistent and simple across all SDKs. The API reference is well put together and helps you understand all the various operations and actions you can perform.” | 1 / 5 API consistency across SDKs / 5 Well structured / 5 Intuitive / 5 Simple / 5 “tenefit.cloud does not provide any proprietary APIs. It uses the W3C standard SSE APIs available in the browser, so there is nothing to rate.“ |

Realtime features | ||
Pub/Sub messaging Pub/Sub is a design pattern that lets any number of publishers (producers) push messages to channels (also known as topics). Multiple subscribers (consumers) can subscribe to a channel to consume published messages. Explore Ably's pub/sub messaging implementation | Limited tenefit.cloud allows clients to subscribe to Kafka topics to consume messages via a pub/sub paradigm. However, client apps cannot publish messages to Kafka. | |
Message queues A message queue is a form of asynchronous service-to-service communication. Messages are stored on a queue until they are processed. Note that each message is only consumed by one subscriber (consumer). Explore Ably's message queues implementation | ||
Presence Presence enables you to track the online and offline status of devices and end-users in real time and to store their state. Essential for chat apps and multiplayer games. Explore Ably's presence implementation | ||
Message history Message history provides a means to retrieve previously published messages. For this to be possible, message data must be stored (persisted) somewhere. Explore Ably's message history implementation | ||
Connection state recovery (stream resume) In the case of unreliable network conditions, clients may suddenly disconnect.Connection state recovery ensures that when they reconnect, the data stream resumes exactly where it left off. Explore Ably' s connection state recovery implementation | ||
Guaranteed message ordering Ordering ensures that messages are delivered to consumers in the same order that producers publish them. Explore Ably' s guaranteed message ordering implementation | ||
Exactly-once semantics Exactly-once is a system-wide data integrity guarantee that ensures each message is delivered to consumers exactly-once. Explore Ably' s idempotent publishing implementation | ||
Message delta compression Message delta compression enables you to only send the changes from the previous message to subscribers each time there’s an update, instead of the entire message. Useful for use cases where there is a significant degree of similarity between successive messages. Explore Ably' s message delta compression implementation | ||
Native push notifications Native push notifications can be used to deliver messages even when clients are offline. Useful for geolocation updates or news alerts. Explore Ably's push notifications implementation | ||
Webhooks Webhooks provide a mechanism to get messages and other types of events (such as clients entering or leaving channels) pushed to your servers over HTTP. Explore Ably's webhooks implementation | ||
Serverless functions A serverless function is essentially an isolated, single-purpose piece of code that is only executed when it’ triggered by an event. For example, you can use serverless functions to send a welcome message to clients when they become present on chat channels. Note that serverless functions are usually fully managed by cloud vendors. Explore Ably's serverless functions implementation | Limited Can only trigger AWS Lambda functions. Amazon SQS doesn’t have in-built support for other serverless platforms, such as Azure Functions or Google Cloud Functions. | |

Known limits and constraints Find out practical limits, such as the maximum message size, or the maximum number of concurrent connections. Explore the practical limits of the Ably pub/sub messaging platform | Message throughput - Standard queues: nearly unlimited number of API calls per second per API action - FIFO queues: 300 API calls per second per API method (3000 transactions per second if you use batching). Maximum message size 256 KB Maximum number of queues Unlimited Maximum number of connections By default, a single SQS client has a connection limit of 50 connections. When more than 50 connections are used, the endpoint connections will get queued up, and performance might decrease. | Unknown |

Community Reviewed by 3+ independent developers Explore Ably's community support channel for our pub/sub messaging platform | 3.50 / 5 Presence on multiple channels / 5 Size and activity / 5 “As we all know, overall, Amazon has a strong and diverse online community that spans various platforms and websites, like Reddit, Stack Overflow, or the AWS forums. With that in mind, the SQS community is not as active or helpful as you’d expect. For example, if you look at the Amazon SQS AWS forum, you will notice there are not that many questions asked over the past year. And while the published questions can get hundreds or even thousands of views, most of them barely have a few replies, if any at all.” | 1 / 5 Presence on multiple channels / 5 Size and activity / 5 “tenefit.cloud doesn’t seem to have a community. There aren’t any forums. There’s no Stack Overflow presence, no community-made libraries. There’s only a couple of repos on GitHub, but that’s about it.” |
