Use Ably in apps and agents
Ably is a real-time messaging platform helping developers build live features, including chat and data synchronization, with global scalability and robust reliability for modern applications.
Why use Vercel Connect with Ably?
Credentials on demand
Request Ably credentials only when your application or agent needs them instead of copying secrets into application code.
Access for the right subject
Keep app-scoped Ably access behind a reusable connector controlled by your team.
Centralized credential management
Manage Ably credentials in one place and retrieve them through a consistent runtime API.
Vercel-native controls
Bind connections to the projects and environments that need them while Vercel OIDC authenticates each runtime request.
