Pocket Gems Successfully Migrates Millions of Users to Stream Chat

Pocket Gems successfully transitioned its mobile storytelling game, Episode, to a more reliable chat solution by integrating Stream's iOS, Android, and backend Python chat SDKs without disrupting millions of players. The migration, managed by a small team under Associate Product Manager Megan Roche and Director of Engineering Ashik Manandhar, focused on enhancing the book club chat feature, which is central to Episode's social ecosystem. Stream's chat SDKs offered flexibility, seamless integration, and robust customer support, ensuring continuity and improving user experience. The migration was executed smoothly, with no downtime, thanks to Stream's thorough planning and responsive team. The collaboration with Stream transformed a potentially challenging migration into a streamlined process, reinforcing Episode's social features and providing a reliable platform for future developments.
