PubNub is reliable. It’s efficient. It’s fast. It’s everything we were looking for. In the EMS/911 space, efficiency is key because how quickly the first responders and public safety agencies respond determines life or death. PubNub has all of that.
As our user base at Peloton continues to grow, we’ve found some interesting opportunities to connect members to each other. We think that creating more opportunities for shared, realtime workout experiences is an important initiative and something we wanted to invest in.
PubNub’s comprehensive feature set, ease of implementation, SDK support for Flash, Javascript and PHP, proven reliability and low latency were the main reasons why we chose PubNub over others. Also, since we only needed the solution for a short term, PubNub’s on-demand service model was perfect for our needs.
DevOps isn't our core competency. I'd much rather work with a dedicated service like PubNub to fulfill a well-defined need, like quickly transmitting data between players, so our engineering team can focus on the hard problems that are unique to our business. David Underhill VP of Engineering
We selected PubNub for our new company because we had a great experience with PubNub at our previous company. At that company, before we discovered PubNub, we had several engineers spend the better part of a year trying to build the basics of realtime publish-subscribe functionality. It was complicated, expensive to build and maintain, and lacked functionality. We quickly shut that product down when we discovered PubNub because it was clear that PubNub was going to be a more affordable, faster, and more reliable solution. Joel Grossman Co-founder of NumberAI
