Realtime data for your app. No backend required

Rich collaborative data structures at the edge

Leverage clean, composable abstractions for modeling complex application state, with seamless support for nested structures that update seamlessly in the background.

Global realtime synchronization

Maintain a single logical copy of your shared data, automatically replicated worldwide and kept perfectly in sync across all clients, even under heavy concurrent reads and writes.

Data that’s always available

Objects are durably stored and replicated across multiple data centers. If a client disconnects, Ably automatically resynchronizes and replays missed updates to keep state consistent and up to date.

Consistent and conflict-free

Concurrent writes and edits are automatically resolved using conflict-free techniques, ensuring eventual consistency at scale without global locks or manual reconciliation.

Massive scale, proven reliability

Built on Ably’s global edge network with no single point of failure and a 99.999% uptime SLA - trusted to handle millions of concurrent users and trillions of updates every month.
