Realtime channels & events fully Pusher-compatible
Ship live features in minutes with public, private and presence channels plus event webhooks. Wire-compatible with Pusher, so your existing SDKs just work — change the host and go.
Same SDKs, one host change — no code rewrite
Capabilities
Every realtime pattern, one protocol
Public, private and presence channels — same API surface Pusher developers already know.
Public channels
Open broadcast channels for live scores, feeds, dashboards and any data every client can receive.
Private channels
Authenticated channels for per-user data — your server signs the subscription so only authorized clients join.
Presence channels
Know exactly who's online: member lists, join/leave events and live member counts out of the box.

Why UTD Channels
Drop-in compatible, built to scale
Everything Pusher developers expect — on cheaper, Google-backed infrastructure with no lock-in.
Pusher wire-compatible
Keep pusher-js, Laravel Echo and pusher-http-* — point them at UTD and everything works.
Byte-for-byte Query API
The REST Channel Query API (list, status, users) is identical to Pusher's — no client changes.
Public, private & presence
All three channel types with server-signed auth and full presence state.
Event webhooks
Get channel_occupied / channel_vacated and member_added / member_removed pushed to your server.
Horizontal scale
Scales out across a Redis cluster to handle high fan-out and large connection counts.
Full tenant isolation
Every app is fully isolated — no shared state, no noisy neighbors.
No auto-renew, free tier
A subscription never renews silently — it ends with an alert and a download. Start on the free tier.
Runs on Google Cloud
Built entirely on Google Cloud for global reach and reliability.
