Latency
An event happening on your side appears on every relevant screen in under a second.
MODULE 06
Real-time web application
Information reaches the screen without anyone hitting refresh.
Dashboards that update themselves, several people working on the same document, instant alerts, live activity tracking. When information loses its value within seconds, it has to arrive on its own.
Who it is for
- Monitoring teams watching operations continuously
- Platforms where several people work on the same data
- Services that must react to an event within seconds
- Booking applications where availability changes constantly
What you are living with today
- Your teams refresh the page every thirty seconds
- Two people edit the same record and one overwrites the other
- An important alert is seen twenty minutes too late
- The dashboard shows figures that are already stale
What you get out of it
0
Refreshes
Nobody has to reload the page to find out whether something changed.
0 conflicts
When editing
Several people work on the same data without the last one overwriting the first one's work.
What is included
- Broadcasting updates to every connected station
- Presence handling: who is online, who is editing what
- Resolution of simultaneous editing conflicts
- Alerts and notifications configurable per role
- Automatic recovery after a network drop, with no loss
- Full event history, replayable for analysis
How it runs
01
Discovery
1 to 2 weeksWe work out what genuinely needs to be instant — not everything deserves it, and real time has a cost.
02
Architecture
2 weeksChoice of broadcast mechanism, load handling, recovery strategy after a drop.
03
Design
1 to 2 weeksHow to signal a change without distracting: badly designed real time becomes exhausting fast.
04
Build
6 to 12 weeksDevelopment and load testing at the expected number of concurrent users.
05
Launch
1 to 2 weeksGradual rollout, monitoring of real latency and adjustments.
Indicative durations. Load is tested before go-live, not after.
Frequently asked
How many concurrent users does it support?
That depends on the architecture, which we size to your real need. We test the target load before go-live and hand you the results.
What happens if the connection drops?
The application reconnects on its own and catches up on missed events. The user sees a status indicator rather than a frozen page that lies.
Does it drain battery on mobile?
We handle that explicitly: connections are suspended when the app goes to the background and resume on return.
What needs to be instant on your side?
Describe your case. We will tell you what genuinely benefits from real time and what can stay simple — real time everywhere is expensive for nothing.
