Is usergrid recommended for apps with real time functionality?

100 views Asked by At

Meaning, is it possible (and scalable) to build applications with chat functionality using only usergrid as backend? Or should I use some other solution for this specific functionality?

Thank you

It probably wouldn't be advisable since UG doesn't implement any real-time protocols like websockets. If you used UG you would have to long poll for changes, which wouldn't make for a very good experience in something like a chat app.
