Mux is a video infrastructure API built for developers who want to ship video fast without managing encoding pipelines. It handles ingest, storage, adaptive delivery, and analytics — and stays out of everything above that layer. That's the right tradeoff for a lot of teams. It's not the right one for all of them. Here's

Sightengine is an API-first content moderation service for image, video, and text classification. You send content, get back confidence scores, and handle the rest yourself. It's minimal by design, meaning no workflow layer, no human review, and no bundled infrastructure. That works well for teams who want direct model access and tight control over their

If you're evaluating chat APIs for your app, Stream and PubNub are two names you'll keep running into. They're both capable platforms, but they're built around different philosophies. PubNub started as a pub/sub infrastructure company and added chat on top. Stream was built for chat from day one. This guide breaks down the key differences

Adding video to your app can drive real engagement, but only if it works. Choosing the wrong provider means latency issues, integration headaches, and developers stuck reading outdated docs instead of shipping. In this guide, we compare Vonage and Stream Video across video quality, SDK support, integration experience, and pricing to help you make the

WebPurify is an easy way to add basic content filtering to an app. It handles profanity and obvious adult or explicit content well, and it’s easy to plug in when moderation isn’t yet a core concern. The cracks tend to show as products grow. Moderation stops being something you set and forget. It starts showing

Building real-time voice and multimodal AI agents requires tools that can manage streaming audio, low-latency responses, and orchestration across speech recognition, language models, and text-to-speech. Pipecat is a popular open-source framework for this use case, giving developers direct control over real-time conversational pipelines. It’s not the only option, though. Some teams prefer framework-level control, while

Amazon IVS makes it easy to embed Twitch-style live streaming into your app. You get managed ingest, global playback, and low-latency delivery without building video infrastructure from scratch. For one-to-many broadcasts, it works. Where teams start looking for alternatives is when those defaults become constraints. IVS is tightly coupled to AWS, optimized for broadcast, and

Adding real-time video and audio to an app sounds straightforward, but quickly becomes complex once you factor in latency, device support, scaling, and operational overhead. Most teams turn to a video SDK rather than building this infrastructure from scratch. If you’re evaluating SDKs, Daily.co and Stream are two commonly considered options. This post breaks down
