In the realm of EdTech, the demand for real-time capabilities is rapidly increasing, but building the necessary infrastructure presents significant challenges. These challenges include ensuring device and user presence, managing connection state recovery, guaranteeing message delivery and order, integrating push notifications, handling third-party integrations, and fostering ongoing innovation. The complexities of developing such a system require deep expertise in computer science and distributed systems, alongside significant resources and time. For many EdTech vendors, the decision to build real-time communication in-house can be daunting due to the unpredictable nature of scalability and availability, often leading to the consideration of leveraging existing platforms like Ably. Ably is positioned as a solution to these challenges, offering an enterprise-ready real-time communication platform that enables efficient design, rapid deployment, and seamless scaling of real-time functionalities, allowing EdTech developers to focus on innovation rather than foundational infrastructure.
