PubNub was built to connect all devices on Earth, primarily those with JavaScript clients, keeping them in sync by delivering millions of messages per second. In order to achieve response times of less then .25 seconds, we have built a full stack to provide linear scalability through our global real-time messaging fabric.
At Asana, we value developer productivity just as much as delivering an insanely fast realtime experience to our users. This talk will cover the unique technology stack we put together to accomplish both these goals and the radical new approach to web application development that it enables.
It's been possible to instantly push information from a web server to a web browser for at least 10 years, but this technology has finally gone mainstream. Phil will discuss the past, present and future of client/server communication technology, the realtime web and provide a number of use cases and demonstrations of how the technology is used today.
