Real-time & Messaging Systems

Low-latency systems that stay correct under load.

The problem

Real-time looks easy in a demo and brutal in production. Dropped events, fan-out storms, out-of-order updates, ghost connections — the failure modes are subtle and user-visible.

Value proposition

We design real-time systems the way you'd design a database: with explicit guarantees, measured latency budgets, and tested failure modes. No "it works on my laptop."

Engagement model

Architecture + build, 6–12 weeks. Starts with a topology design and capacity model, then implementation, load testing, and a documented runbook. Optional retainer for ongoing tuning.

Call to action

Building chat, live dashboards, collaborative editing, or live data feeds? Let's design it to hold up.

Capabilities

  • WebSocket and SSE architectures
  • Pub/sub and event-driven design
  • Message queues (Redis, NATS, Kafka, SQS)
  • Presence, typing, and collaborative cursors
  • Idempotency, ordering, and exactly-once semantics
  • Load testing and chaos drills

Deliverables

  • Real-time feature in production
  • Documented messaging topology
  • Load and soak test baselines
  • Failure-mode runbooks

Questions

Common questions

Funded startups, SMEs, and enterprise innovation teams. We've shipped MVPs for pre-seed founders and migrated platforms for public companies.

Fixed-scope sprints for MVPs (4–12 weeks), monthly retainers for ongoing product teams, and short architecture engagements (1–3 weeks) for audits.

Shared Slack or Linear, weekly written updates, a public roadmap, and a live demo every Friday. No status meetings for the sake of meetings.

Yes. All IP is yours from day one. We commit directly to your repository under your license.
