FAQ
Questions you might be asking.
Yes. We implement the Pusher protocol on the wire. Any Pusher SDK - JS, PHP, Python, Ruby, .NET, Swift, Android - works without modification. Point it at wss.vask.dev and your existing channel/event/presence keeps working.
Every signup includes a free Dev app: up to 100 concurrent connections and 1,000,000 server broadcasts per month. Dev apps are designed for local development & testing.
Nothing breaks. We don't throttle, drop messages, or block you. We email you, give you enough time to either right-size or move up a tier. We will never surprise-bill you mid-month.
