This looks awesome and like something I could leverage on my team. I’m trying to modernize the back end of our chat service (at a large company you’ve heard about), to support real-time instead of polling and modern affordances like typing indicators, read receipts, and reactions.

I’ve built a prototype of a full stack using Flask + SocketIO + SQLite as well as an iOS client to prove the concept to the VPs.

How well do you think this can scale? Any plans to make native SDKs for iOS and Android?

Thank you for the kind words.

We have startups in production using Instant. It could hiccup if you get a big spike of traffic, but all of us will be on deck to fix it.

It's definitely on the roadmap, but we want to get the Javascript / React Native experience really right first.
