CEO at Ably, the platform that powers synchronized digital experiences in realtime for over a billion devices monthly 🚀. We are hiring in EU & US ably.com/careers
At Ably, we’re committed to building products that solve tough technical challenges and help our customers deliver exceptional user experiences. The team’s hard work and innovation are at the heart of our success, and we’re proud to be powering brands like NASCAR as a result. We’ve partnered with NASCAR on their Drive platform, which streams live race data to fans worldwide. Managing the massive data volumes—over 1TB per event— posed challenges for their long-polling-based architecture when coupled with the unpredictable nature of races. That’s where Ably stepped in. Our WebSockets-based platform provided NASCAR with the predictability, reliability, and scalability they needed to handle data surges. By leveraging Ably, NASCAR was able to: ✅ Optimize costs while handling huge data volumes ✅ Scale seamlessly and add new features ✅ Deliver a globally distributed, low-latency fan experience And during the 2024 Daytona 500, Ably powered the broadcast of 370M+ messages to 56K+ concurrent users—without breaking a sweat.
