Create a Real-Time Data Streaming Application

PubNub makes it easy to connect and consume large-scale real-time streaming data and deliver that information to any number of subscribers.

This tutorial will walk you through two techniques to develop an end-to-end real-time streaming application with PubNub:

Using the PubNub SDK

PubNub’s SDK is capable of handling a high volume of data and this tutorial will show how you can use the SDK to publish and consume Wikipedia updates, as a real-world example.

Using HTTP Streaming

PubNub’s stream endpoint allows for even faster data transfer and is ideal for extremely high throughput use cases.
