Case Study: GoGuardian achieves secure, scalable real-time student–teacher messaging with Pusher Channels (Pusher)

GoGuardian - Customer Case Study

GoGuardian, a provider of tools for thousands of K‑12 schools, faced rapid growth and costly, hard‑to‑scale in‑house infrastructure while needing to meet stringent student‑data privacy requirements. To solve these challenges, GoGuardian chose Pusher and its Pusher Channels product to build secure, real‑time connections between students and teachers.

Pusher implemented Pusher Channels quickly, meeting privacy needs and scaling automatically so GoGuardian could go into production in a fraction of the time. The deployment has handled massive load — 2.6 billion messages sent, peaks of 15,000 messages/second, and over 70,000 concurrent connections — and, as Director of Engineering Nick Tyler says, "it just works."
