> Stop paying for €xpen$ive realtime

First time I've seen what appears to be a purely free project going on the offense against SaaS providers, complete with a mock pricing table. I wonder what the motivation is. Bad experience with a SaaS?

Brilliant website in any case. And I say this as someone who works on a realtime/push SaaS.

I get their goal with the pricing comparison table, but it makes it initially appear like this has an actual cost (when in reality they're just saying all you need to do is put this on a cheap VPS).

I guess they position themselves as a competitor to Pusher, which is a hosted service.

Oof Ably not looking so good suddenly..

I’m really dependent on ably and would like a solid alternative that we can self host but I really love the telemetry that we get in Ably. I wonder if something could be rolled with this and Prometheus.
