Real-time events for public data
Achieve real-time delivery of public-facing data with minimal cost and complexity.
Is EventBlast Right for You?
EventBlast shines when you need to broadcast real-time updates from your server to many clients simultaneously. Built on Server-Sent Events (SSE), it's designed for one-way communication where your server pushes data and your users receive instant updates.
Ideal scenarios include:
- Dashboard metrics and data visualizations
- Live auction bidding information
- Live sports scores and game statistics
- Public announcements and status updates
- Real-time inventory levels and availability
- Real-time pricing updates for e-commerce or financial stocks
Key Advantages
Cost-Effective at Scale
Traditional real-time services can become prohibitively expensive as your audience grows. EventBlast offers a more economical solution for high-volume, one-way data streaming.
Public Data Focus
Perfect for information that doesn't require encryption beyond standard SSL. If your data is meant to be publicly accessible, why pay for unnecessary security layers?
Simple Integration
Server-Sent Events are natively supported by modern browsers, making implementation straightforward and reliable.
Consider Alternatives When You Need
While EventBlast excels at public broadcasting, services like Ably, Pusher, or PubNub might be better suited if you require:
Bi-directional communication
When users need to send messages back to the server
Private or sensitive data transmission
For user-specific or confidential information
Message persistence
If you need a third-party service to store and replay message history
User-generated content
When handling data that originates from your users rather than your servers
EventBlast is built for developers who need reliable, cost-effective real-time broadcasting without the complexity and expense of full-featured messaging platforms.
