About Pusher Channels
Pusher Channels is a hosted API which allows you to quickly and easily bring rich realtime features to your apps; from dashboards to gaming, collaborative editing, live maps and more, simplify your stack and simply integrate Pusher’s managed WebSocket connections to build the features your users expect into any web or mobile app.
Whenever something changes in your system a single API call to Channels will prompt a WebSocket update so that you can instantly update the UI in your users’ apps.
Whether you have one connection or millions, ultra-low latency with automatic fallback means Channels works anywhere. Pusher delivers billions of messages every month across browsers, mobile and IoT with the event-based API.
Pusher manages and scales the realtime infrastructure, as a reliable and cost-effective alternative to building, maintaining and scaling in-house, so you can concentrate on your product.

SignalWire
An elastic communications cloud with advanced APIs for voice, SMS and video designed by the original geeks of software-defined telecom. When your audience is large, your brand is premium, and you won't settle for janky video conferencing UX, you want this. Real time, granular control over call flows, routing, and codecs. 300% more responsiveness than you get with REST. If you use AI in your voice apps, you just found your new favorite API. If you're more comfortable with REST than WebSockets or already use TwiML, these APIs are like TwiML...if TwiML suddenly knew Kung Fu. The SMS API makes it easy to move your expensive SMS traffic to SignalWire and cut your billio 50-80% in the process. Launch and scale communication products on infrastructure built for this decade and the next rather than running aground on the limitations of 2010s-era SaaS. Persistent, bi-directional connections between your video and voice apps and our infrastructure means 300% more responsiveness.
