Ably launches: Better realtime messaging

UK-based realtime messaging platform Ably has officially launched after three years of development by a team led by Econsultancy co-founder Matthew O'Riordan and former Tao Group CTO Paddy Byers. The platform is designed to help developers add realtime messaging and streaming data to applications, with features such as True High Availability, extremely low latencies globally, message delivery during outages, and protocol agnosticism. Ably's unique selling points include its ability to maintain connection state for each client, offer both short-term and long-term message durability, and ensure chronological delivery of messages.
