Getting Started with Real-Time Infrastructure

Real-time infrastructure is the backbone of modern interactive applications. Whether you're building a live streaming platform, a collaborative workspace, or an AI-powered chat application, the ability to deliver data with minimal latency is crucial for user experience.

What is Real-Time Infrastructure?

Real-time infrastructure refers to the systems and technologies that enable applications to process and deliver data with extremely low latency—typically measured in milliseconds rather than seconds. This infrastructure handles:

• WebSocket connections for bidirectional communication
• Edge computing to reduce geographical latency
• Load balancing across multiple servers
• Auto-scaling to handle traffic spikes
