River is a drop-in real-time service for web applications. It provides an easy-to-deploy and ready-to-scale solution for existing applications with real-time needs.For the application developer, River abstracts away the complexity of setting up a resilient infrastructure and removes the hassle of managing WebSocket connections. It allows backend services to publish events and makes these events available to web clients in real-time. River is a great fit for existing applications looking for a way to easily add real-time functionality.River is cloud-native. This means that it was designed and built with cloud services in mind. Once the complexity hurdle has been crossed, cloud services give developers a lot of power and flexibility. Our goal with River was to leverage that power to provide others with a robust infrastructure to lean on and a clean interface to interact with it.
