Dubai, UAE – December 3, 2025 – PubSub, a fully Pusher-compatible WebSocket platform, officially launches today, bringing low-latency real-time communication to UAE developers building chat apps, notifications, and live tracking systems. Hosted in Dubai data centers, PubSub delivers sub-50ms latency for GCC users while supporting the complete Pusher protocol v7 for zero-code-change migrations.​

Event-Driven Architecture at Scale

PubSub implements the proven publish-subscribe model, decoupling publishers from subscribers for scalable, asynchronous messaging across distributed systems. Publishers broadcast events to channels while subscribers receive instant push delivery, eliminating polling overhead and enabling true real-time experiences like live chat presence and typing indicators.​

Key technical advantages include bidirectional communication for chat/notifications/tracking, Redis-backed persistence for multi-instance scaling, and JWT authentication matching Pusher's security model. Developers can swap wss://pubsub.yourdomain.com for Pusher URLs without touching client libraries.​

Built for UAE Market Demands

With WhatsApp dominating 86% of UAE messaging and e-commerce giants like Noon needing instant order notifications, PubSub addresses local needs perfectly. Dubai hosting ensures TRA compliance, data residency, and <50ms latency vs 200ms+ from global providers. The platform scales to millions of messages daily, ideal for fintech, delivery apps, and SaaS platforms in the $447M UAE digital services market.​

Production-Ready Features

  • Presence & Typing: Real-time online status and composition indicators for natural chat UX.​
  • Channel Broadcasting: Public/private channels with fanout to thousands of subscribers.​
  • Offline Queueing: Message persistence ensures delivery when users reconnect.​
  • Multi-Device Sync: Seamless presence and history across web/mobile.​

Free Tier + Enterprise Scale

"PubSub solves Pusher's latency and pricing issues for UAE developers," says the founding team. "Drop-in compatibility means production chat features in minutes, not weeks."
