Case Study: Guild achieves guaranteed, global realtime professional messaging with Ably

Guild’s platform for communities and networking delivers 500% year on year growth

Guild is a purpose-built messaging app for professional networks that needed reliable, private, real‑time communication, global distribution, and the flexibility to add bespoke, compliance-focused features. To meet these requirements Guild chose Ably’s secure, scalable realtime infrastructure to power instant messaging, privacy controls, device synchronization and event-driven notifications.

Ably delivered a globally distributed, low‑latency messaging network (including Reactor, API Streamer and analytics) that enabled 100% message delivery guarantee, cross‑device sync, easier integrations and event‑driven APIs for compliance and developer extensions. The result for Guild was robust, professional-grade realtime UX, faster innovation and operational guarantees—measurable outcomes include guaranteed delivery, improved latency and out‑of‑the‑box interoperability for future features.
