Announcing Stream Chat’s New Java Backend SDK

Stream Chat has released a new backend SDK for Java, marking its seventh dedicated SDK alongside its REST API, which enables diverse custom integrations. This development is significant as Java remains a leading server-side language due to its widespread use, skilled developer base, continued relevance in Android development, and portability. The Java SDK addresses a frequent request from Stream users, offering an enterprise-grade solution. Stream Chat's backend SDKs differ from frontend SDKs, which handle most client-side tasks and connect directly to the Stream Chat API, saving time and effort. Backend SDKs are crucial for server-side tasks like generating user tokens and syncing users, channels, and members. Stream Chat aims to provide scalable, custom in-app messaging solutions without diverting resources from core app projects, supported by a robust network of edge servers capable of supporting millions of concurrent users. Stream Chat offers flexible pricing plans for various organizational needs and provides a free trial and a Stream Maker Account for small teams or side projects.
