Project Overview
OrbitSync is a real-time collaboration platform built for globally distributed teams. It provides synchronized workspaces, live presence, and low-latency communication so teams can work together reliably across locations and devices.
The problem we needed to solve
Real-time collaboration becomes increasingly difficult as user volume grows. Network latency, concurrent updates, connection failures, and conflicting edits can quickly create an inconsistent experience across users and devices.
Building the right solution
We engineered a distributed real-time architecture using WebSockets and Redis. The system coordinates live updates across servers, resolves conflicting changes, and maintains consistent workspace state for thousands of concurrent users.
