Summary

Missive, a unified communication platform, enhances teamwork and streamlines collaboration by integrating essential communication channels such as email, chat, and task management into a single interface, addressing the challenges of fragmented communication in remote and hybrid work environments. The platform utilizes Pusher's realtime infrastructure to facilitate live interactions, enabling spontaneous conversations and immediate attention to critical discussions. By choosing Pusher Channels, Missive's small team efficiently manages realtime communication without the burden of developing their own infrastructure, allowing them to focus on building a comprehensive communication platform. This approach has contributed to Missive's growth, now supporting over 3,000 businesses and handling billions of emails, demonstrating the effectiveness of using hosted APIs to optimize resources and concentrate on core product development.
