About Jamsocket

We are a platform for high-performance browser-based applications. We make it easier for developers to deploy apps that give every user a dedicated backend.

This is a system design that apps like Figma and GitHub codespaces use, but it's currently difficult for others to replicate it. We make it as easy as deploying a traditional web server.
