Developers come first

Sendbird’s chat API, voice API, & video API, native Chat SDKs, feature-rich platform, and pre-fab UI components make developers more productive. We take care of a ton of operational complexity under the hood, so you can power a rich chat service, and life-like voice, and video experiences, and not worry about features, edge cases, reliability, or scale.
