(1-1 of 1)Companies can't remove reviews or game the system. Here's why
Our company had the need to implement real-time updates in our web UI and mobile app. Pusher allowed us to have a platform that performed that. Users would submit information from the UI to the backend, then the backend code (PHP in our case) would push a notification to the UI for other users to get information to display in real-time.

- We had over ten thousand customer orders go through over the course of a year with no problems with this API
- There was very minimal support for this API which allowed us to focus on other priorities.
