Ably
The purpose
To relentlessly deliver dependable realtime capabilities in their simplest form, right into the hands of developers.
About us
Ably provides an infrastructure layer to handle complex, behind-the-scenes realtime communication that powers things like chat, live updates in maps or apps, IoT device control, and more. There's no infrastructure to provision or manage - just simple yet powerful and versatile SDKs and APIs that let you quickly add innovative realtime capabilities to your application with a few lines of code.
Flexi working approach
Flexibility has been a big part of Ably's working culture since the very beginning, and it works for so many reasons: people are motivated, they feel trusted and we respect each other's time. It's awesome to have this celebrated by Flexa. We'll continue to make sure we have a company culture that recognises the individual, along with the impact and contribution they make; not the hours they work.
