Realtime-Optimized Features

Purpose-built infrastructure for applications requiring instant response times and continuous connectivity.

Sub-Millisecond Routing

Routing decisions completed in under 1 millisecond with zero additional latency overhead. Optimized data structures and in-memory routing tables enable instant path resolution. Meets the stringent requirements of high-frequency trading and competitive gaming.

🔌

Native WebSocket Support

Full WebSocket protocol support with seamless connection handling. Automatic upgrade from HTTP, connection pooling, and persistent session management. Handle millions of concurrent WebSocket connections with minimal resource overhead.

🌍

Global Edge Network

Deployed across 200+ edge locations worldwide for minimal geographic latency. Automatic routing to nearest edge node ensures users always connect to the closest gateway. Geographic load balancing and failover built-in.

🔄

Instant Failover

Automatic failover in under 10ms when backend services become unavailable. Health checking happens continuously in the background with zero impact on request routing. Maintain seamless user experience even during infrastructure issues.

📊

Real-Time Metrics

Live performance metrics updated every 100 milliseconds. Monitor latency distributions, connection counts, error rates, and throughput in real-time. Instant alerting when performance degrades below configured thresholds.

🛡️

DDoS Protection

Built-in protection against volumetric and application-layer attacks. Automatic traffic shaping and rate limiting prevent abuse without impacting legitimate users. Maintain availability even under sustained attack conditions.

How Realtime Proxy Works

Our gateway is architected from the ground up for real-time performance. Every component is optimized for minimal latency, from connection handling to request routing and response delivery.

The system uses custom-built networking stacks that bypass traditional OS overhead. Direct memory access and zero-copy techniques ensure that data moves through the gateway as quickly as physically possible.

  • Custom epoll-based event loop for maximum I/O efficiency
  • Lock-free data structures for concurrent request handling
  • Pre-compiled routing rules with O(1) lookup time
  • Kernel bypass networking for critical paths
  • Memory-mapped configuration for instant updates
  • Hardware-accelerated TLS termination
