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.

Achieved nonstop medical imaging access and secure patient data while automating daily operations
Regarding how RedHat 9 with support by ProComputers could be improved, I believe there are some points that could be enhanced, such as reducing the complexity and cost of licensing. The subscription model and socket counting can be complex and have a high cost for expanding smaller development environments. The learning curve could also be simplified: although security is impeccable, solving SELinux troubleshooting issues in advanced scenarios requires a considerable amount of diagnostic time for those who are just starting out. Documentation and the unified migration interface could be improved as well. The process of transitioning between major versions, such as from RedHat 8 to 9, has evolved a lot with Leapp, but it could still have tools such as simpler visual wizards and less dependency on manual scripts and customized scenarios. For me, the main improvement points in RedHat 9 with support by ProComputers are mainly the cost of the subscription model, which can be high when scaling new environments, and the complexity of configuring SELinux, which requires more time for the team to analyze errors when advanced blocks occur. I believe that RedHat 9 with support by ProComputers, to be a 10, would need to address what I mentioned in the previous answer. That would be broader documentation in the sense of providing tools with more visual and simple assistance, with less dependence on scripts, and reducing cost complexity. Some subscription and socket counting models can have a high cost for expansions of smaller development environments. I believe I have mentioned all the improvement suggestions I think are viable.

Quotes from Members

We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use. Here are some excerpts of what they said:
 

Pros

"My most-liked feature is its highly reliable real-time messaging capacity."
"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."
"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."
"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."
"RedHat 9 with support by ProComputers is a perfect tool for any corporate environment because it delivers several improvements, standardization, tools, and features that are required nowadays in daily corporate environments."
"For example, I can apply a build in production, within our working language, and know that I can reproduce it in any scenario within RedHat."
"RedHat 9 with support by ProComputers has a positive impact on our organization regarding ROI itself, as even though RedHat solutions are not cheap, scalability, availability, and long-term support have evolved and shown that the operational cost with integrated support is very viable, resulting in an operational return with availability of more than 99.9%, which is very impactful for the company as a whole."
"RedHat 9 with support by ProComputers is the best, most stable, and free operating system that we have on the market right now."
"Version updates make my day-to-day work easier because they ensure the security of the environment by fixing bugs and issues that pose risks."
"Security tools such as SELinux and OpenSCAP help identify vulnerabilities and maintain environment compliance, which reduces manual work, minimizes the risk of failures, and improves the availability of corporate services."
"If they need something robust, scalable, extremely secure, with excellent support and a range of infrastructure possibilities, it is without a doubt one of the best products on the market."
"This productivity gain shows up in the team's daily work in the ready-made images and in the automation with Terraform and Pulumi."
 

Cons

"Ably can be improved in several areas."
"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."
"Overall, Ably appears strong for managed real-time operations, but could improve areas such as pricing predictability."
"I think RedHat 9 with support by ProComputers could be improved as a system."
"I think RedHat 9 with support by ProComputers could be improved by integrating it through AI."
"I have not been making effective use of AI. I still intend to reach that level, but I believe it must be secure."
"A negative point, often, when speaking of Brazil, is that the support seems a bit distant from our reality."
"I believe RedHat 9 with support by ProComputers could be improved mainly in ease of management."
"To improve RedHat 9 with support by ProComputers, one suggestion is to address complexities in updating security patches in critical or isolated environments lacking connectivity with the remote repository or the internet, as this complicates some updates and necessary checks."
"The only challenge that we have with RedHat 9 with support by ProComputers is migrations."
"Regarding how RedHat 9 with support by ProComputers could be improved, I believe there are some points that could be enhanced, such as reducing the complexity and cost of licensing."
