It is built primarily on Amazon EC2 infrastructure. It runs in 7 physical data centers and utilizes 385 points of presence to ensure that there isn't a single point of failure, nor single point of congestion across the service. Ably is designed to route messages using the least amount of network hops to minimize latency and maximize performance for clients, regardless of their location.

It is built primarily on Amazon's cloud infrastructure. Ably has servers distributed across more than 15 physical datacenters within the AWS network, with 700+ edge locations globally through AWS CloudFront, so that there isn't a single point of failure, nor single point of congestion across the service. Ably is designed to route messages using the least amount of network hops to minimize latency and maximize performance for clients, regardless of their location.

Each data center scales independently to meet the load within that region. Load is dynamically assigned and reassigned across servers in realtime, and the service auto-heals and routes around network failures.

Clients are automatically connected to the nearest datacenter to reduce latency, and each datacenter is physically isolated from the others, ensuring that a failure in one datacenter has no effect on any other datacenter.
