Realtime (live updates, chat, presence)
Add live features that update the moment something changes, with no refresh, like chat, typing indicators, a live 'who is online' list, and instant notifications. DontCode runs the live connection for you, so there is nothing to set up or keep running.
Details
Each user joins named channels (like a chat room) and gets new messages the instant they are sent. You can see who is currently connected, and send updates from your app at any time. Because messages are delivered live and not stored, keep anything you need to look up later in the database.
Where to enable it
Toggle this feature in your project editor. No code required.
This capability runs platform-wide; no specific settings route.

Key-value cache (fast temporary storage)
A fast place to keep short-lived information that can expire on its own, like login sessions, one-time codes, game lobbies, or a live 'who is online' list. It is instant to read and write, and there are no servers for you to run. For anything that must be kept permanently, use the database.
Push notifications & in-app notification center
Push notifications and an in-app notification center ship with every project. Subscribers self-manage; the platform handles subscription tokens, delivery, and badge counts. No FCM/APNS setup required.
