Data is no longer at REST

Matthew O'Riordan, CEO of Ably Realtime, discusses the history and evolution of web technologies, focusing on data in motion versus data at rest. He highlights how real-time functionality has become increasingly important due to consumer demand for real-time experiences and exponential growth in data generated from new sources like IoT devices and machine learning. O'Riordan emphasizes that while the internet has made significant progress, it is still primarily focused on data at rest rather than data in motion. He also discusses how businesses can benefit from real-time APIs to share data freely, easily, and without significant engineering overhead. Finally, he offers advice for developers looking to incorporate real-time functionality into their applications and participate in the real-time data supply chain.
