Case Study: Onedio achieves a rapid 1M-player HQ-trivia launch in 21 days with Ably

How Onedio took an award-winning HQ-trivia app to market in just 21 days

Onedio, Turkey’s fastest‑growing digital media company, needed to launch an HQ‑style live trivia app (Oyna Kazan) quickly while supporting massive, bursty concurrent audiences. They selected Ably’s real‑time infrastructure — using features such as Reactor Integrations, channel occupancy and connection state recovery — to meet the mission‑critical requirement for sub‑100ms two‑way communications across unpredictable user surges.

Ably provided a ready‑made low‑latency platform and SQS integration that let Onedio go from development to launch in 21 days, handle sub‑65ms round‑trip timing, and scale seamlessly during dramatic user bursts. The result: 300,000 regular players within three weeks, 500,000 for larger events, plans for 1 million concurrent users, a drastically shortened go‑to‑market versus the typical 4–5 months, reduced engineering overhead, and a Google Play Best of 2019 (Turkey) win — all enabled by Ably.
