Pusher Shutting Down Chatkit

Pusher's Chatkit product is shutting down on April 23, 2020, leaving users with just 30 days to transition to a new platform. Stream Chat positions itself as a suitable replacement, offering a wider range of features, scalability, and performance enhancements compared to Chatkit. Despite the sudden announcement, Stream is prepared to support users through the migration process, promising a smooth transition and providing a detailed migration guide on GitHub. Stream Chat boasts real-time functionality, comprehensive moderation tools, and enterprise-level features, making it an appealing option for those needing to swiftly move from Chatkit. The shutdown of Chatkit, which was only launched two years prior, presents an unexpected challenge for its customers, yet Stream sees it as an opportunity for businesses to adopt a more robust chat solution.
