Reduced manual work and built reliable real-time collaboration with serverless messaging
I love Ably for its advanced pub/sub messaging capabilities, which help us with messaging Delta Compression, allowing us to send only changes from previous messages instead of entire payloads every time. For example, if I have to say 'hi', instead of sending the whole payload, it only sends the change in the current payload, reducing bandwidth consumption and enabling high-frequency data streaming. This major change has made our clients really happy as they receive notifications and messages without latency. Additionally, if a client goes offline, Ably stores messages in history for up to 72 hours, allowing clients to query history and catch up on missed events, ensuring complete stream continuity. It also supports multi-protocol, using WebSockets and gracefully falling back to server-sent events and long polling as needed, including support for MQTT and IoT devices along with pub/sub control for easy migration.I appreciate the serverless integration that has the integrated native web hook, instantly triggering serverless functions such as AWS Lambda and Azure Function when specific real-time events occur. It also allows Kafka Connector for seamless ingestion of messages from Kafka topics to stream them out to millions of users in milliseconds.

Automation has accelerated deployments and standardizes pipelines while reducing operational errors
To improve Jenkins on CentOS 10, there are some challenges we ran into, especially when we first started using it. We missed clearer documentation, both for Jenkins as code and for some environment configurations. As a result, a lot of configurations were learned manually through tests with the team. We also missed more stable plugin updates. We had many problems with incompatibility between plugin versions in Jenkins on CentOS 10. What makes those situations challenging is that we had problems starting and restarting the Jenkins on CentOS 10 application when we needed to reuse plugins from the previous version. Once we updated some plugins to the required version, others became incompatible with the current version. It became a cycle where we had to update Jenkins on CentOS 10, the versions of the plugins we used, and the versions of the plugins they depended on, which made configuration and startup quite difficult in some cases.

Quotes from Members

Pros

"Ably has positively impacted our organization by providing a good return on investment by avoiding the labor cost of building and maintaining a custom WebSocket server."
"We experience vast improvements across many areas with Ably; when users connect bank accounts, we previously had to poll repeatedly, which is now replaced by Ably's real-time infrastructure that maintains a persistent back-end connection, significantly reducing the need for infrastructure management and API load, resulting in average bank connection display times decreasing from eight to twelve seconds down to one to two seconds, and with persistent back-end connections reducing API calls, we achieve a lower operational load, seeing an impressive reduction of thirty thousand to forty thousand calls monthly."
"Ably has a big capacity to stream data all over the world, has higher reliability and a 99.99% uptime, offers robust security guarantees and ease of integration, and saved at least 80% of the cost that would have required more developers and more time for integration testing and development."
"My most-liked feature is its highly reliable real-time messaging capacity."
"Ably's API integration is intuitive; it definitely improved our efficiency, and we saw faster user interaction and around a 20% reduction in latency during peak times, which improved user experience as well."
"Ably has improved our organization by enhancing real-time communication capabilities and providing reliable data delivery."
"Jenkins on CentOS 10 is the main orchestrator that currently helps us ensure, in an automated way, the quality of the product we are delivering."
"The plugin I consider indispensable, which has greatly facilitated integration with other systems, is the Atlassian plugin, which is exactly the plugin for where we have our source code repository."
"The dashboard and centralized process really help my team day-to-day by making things both easier and faster."
"The multi-branch pipeline has helped my team manage jobs and deployments more easily."
"My advice to other people who are thinking about using Jenkins on CentOS 10 is that they can use it. It is a very secure tool that speeds up processes and links other tools in a very secure and easy way."
"That level of detail helps me a lot because I can understand the stage that is running and what is actually happening, literally, in that stage."
"Jenkins on CentOS 10 significantly helps my team."
"The best features Jenkins on CentOS 10 offers in my experience are the automation aspect and CI/CD, which I use a lot."
 

Cons

"It falls just short of a perfect ten only because full twenty-four-hour phone or live chat escalation is heavily gated behind their highest enterprise pricing tiers."
"Ably can be improved in several areas."
"Overall, Ably appears strong for managed real-time operations, but could improve areas such as pricing predictability."
"I give Jenkins on CentOS 10 a score of 8 because I see that some plugins are maintained by the community and are not actually supported by Jenkins."
"We missed clearer documentation, both for Jenkins as code and for some environment configurations."
"I believe Jenkins on CentOS 10 can be improved with enhancements such as the Docker image in the Docker container."
"Regarding how Jenkins on CentOS 10 can be improved, it is not specific to CentOS 10, but Jenkins is a bit resource-intensive. It consumes significant system resources, especially if there are large codebases running or large projects running, and running it on a server does cost money."
"I would also suggest additional improvements to Jenkins on CentOS 10, including a better user interface, simpler plugin management, and stronger integration with cloud-native technologies."
"For improvements to Jenkins on CentOS 10, I believe its plugins need to go through some reviews."
"The plugins in Jenkins on CentOS 10, while really great because of the huge ecosystem, can also be a pain point because you never know how long they will be maintained, and there's a slight instability there; if you depend on some plugin that does an integration with some product and the plugin is not maintained anymore, you're blocked from using the product features that would integrate through the plugin, and it doesn't have high availability natively."
"I think the overall performance of Jenkins on CentOS 10 could be improved because it ends up consuming a bit more memory."
