What is PUBQ?
PUBQ is a platform that empowers developers to create and deliver real-time digital experiences. By leveraging PUBQ's SDKs and APIs, developers can build applications that can communicate in real-time without having to worry about managing the complexities of scaling, latency, data integrity and network outages.
At its core, PUBQ is a cloud-based publish/subscribe platform-as-a-service (PaaS) that ensures that messages published by any device can be received instantaneously by any number of subscribing devices.
PUBQ's capabilities can benefit a wide range of industries, such as EdTech, FinTech, SaaS, sports and entertainment, and healthcare, among others. The platform offers a solution to common use cases such as:
- Chat applications
- Broadcasting data
- Synchronizing data in real-time
- Enabling multiplayer collaboration
In summary, PUBQ provides developers with the necessary tools to integrate real-time functionality into any application, making it possible to build seamless digital experiences that are both efficient and reliable.
About the PUBQ APIs
When it comes to building applications with PUBQ, there are multiple ways to do it. However, using PUBQ SDKs is the recommended choice as they offer a comprehensive set of features. These SDKs provide a consistent and user-friendly API that works seamlessly across various platforms.
When it comes to establishing client connections with PUBQ, there are multiple transport options available. However, the WebSocket protocol is the preferred choice for PUBQ due to its versatility and high performance. By using WebSockets, clients can establish a bi-directional communication channel with the PUBQ server over a persistent, single-socket connection. Most PUBQ SDKs utilize WebSockets to establish a realtime connection with PUBQ. For all other REST operations, including authentication, a simple HTTP request is used.
In summary, PUBQ SDKs and the WebSocket protocol are the go-to tools for building realtime applications with PUBQ. They provide developers with a powerful and efficient way to create seamless and reliable connections.
Pub/sub channels
Channels are the fundamental components of the pub/sub model. They serve as a way to organize messages into different topics or categories. This organization allows publishers to send messages to specific channels, and subscribers of those channels will receive those messages. Subscribers will only receive messages from the channels they are subscribed to.
Channels in PUBQ support the following message patterns:
One-to-many (fan-out):
This pattern involves multiple subscribers receiving the same message. Examples include applications that provide game updates to sports fans or deliver public transport times and status to travelers.Many-to-one:
In this pattern, multiple publishers send messages to a single subscriber. For instance, an application that monitors temperature in multiple locations or publishes the location of company vehicles to a central headquarters.Many-to-many:
This pattern involves variable numbers of publishers and subscribers. It is commonly used in chat applications, where direct messaging between two users would utilize one channel, while a company-wide group chat would use another channel.
