Ably’s Four Pillars of Dependability
We focus on predictability of latencies, and we guarantee <65 ms round trip latency for 99th percentile. We also provide unlimited channel throughput.
Message ordering, guaranteed delivery, and exactly-once semantics are built-in, from the moment a message is published to Ably, all the way to its delivery to consumers.
Fault tolerance at regional and global levels to guarantee continuity of service even in the case of multiple infrastructure failures. 99.999999% message survivability.
Ably is meticulously designed for high availability and extreme scale. We ensure 50% capacity margin for instant surges, and provide a 99.999% uptime SLA.
We are extremely happy with our switch to Ably. We were able to change from our previous vendor with no interruption in service thanks to Ably’s protocol adapters, which is impressive given the fact that it required all of our users to make the switch to the new realtime platform, at exactly the same time."
