# Realtime API for your apps. Subscribe, publish, scale.

Live chat, presence, in-app notifications, and real-time dashboards, without running the WebSocket infrastructure yourself.

## 5 minutes from npm install to first event

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

Server SDKs for Node, Python, and Go, a browser client for the subscribe side, and plain HTTP when you would rather not add a dependency. A channel needs no provisioning: it exists as soon as something subscribes to it.

## What you can build with Realtime

Bring live updates to every corner of your product, from chat and dashboards to tracking and games, all through one simple API.
