Building realtime experiences: How to reduce the risk

What's this blog post about?

Delivering realtime experiences is high risk due to the complexity of building and maintaining in-house infrastructure. Key factors contributing to this risk include lack of expertise, difficulty in anticipating changing user needs, opportunity cost of not focusing on core product functionality, and potential downtime or service degradation. Many teams underestimate the time, resources, and costs required for such projects. Using a Platform as a Service (PaaS) provider can help reduce these risks by simplifying integration, providing known ongoing costs, and ensuring reliability through dedicated specialists.
