# Hosted pub/sub over WebSockets. Subscribe, publish, scale.

Live chat, presence, in-app notifications, real-time dashboards — without running the WebSocket infrastructure yourself. Built on the same technology that ran Pusher Channels for a decade. Same auth, same idempotency, same webhook contract as every other Bird channel.

## 5 minutes from npm install to first event

## Publish your first event from the language you already use.

SDKs in every major runtime. The first publish lands on a sanctioned test channel (bird-test:realtime) so you can ship a CI check before you provision a production channel.

## Ten things between "your server publishes" and "your client gets the event."

Hosted pub/sub primitives, named and audit-able. No WebSocket infrastructure to run yourself.
