Hear my totally business voice. Alexei and me representing the Stream team. I really liked how it turned out. It is a bit of an oddball episode compared to my regular ones. But I think a lot of fun nonetheless.

Stream are the #1 chat API for custom messaging apps and started off building activity feeds and slowly started introducing chat messaging API’s which feeds large-volumes of their traffic. Jeroen and Alexei took us on a journey to understand some of the challenges around latency, scalability and mobile performance.
A great discussion which feeds into end-to-end challenges of the platform and why they are critical to one another, especially in an API first product.
- We discuss vertical v horizontal scaling through different API/chat activities.
- Building 3 SDK’s for mobile and importance of CX.
Stream makes it easy for you to seamlessly integrate real-time experiences into your application. Check out their Swift tutorial to learn how you can get started adding video or in-app messaging to your apps!
