Kutumb's user base spans millions of daily active users across devices and a range of network conditions. We faced integration and reliability issues with other providers and couldn't scale our video rooms feature to all our users. 100ms' SDK allowed us to go live in 2 weeks without us having to bother with reliability issues. Their dedicated slack channel for support worked as our extended engineering team during integration.

We at Kutuki used 100ms to build our live sessions feature - and were simply amazed by the documentation, support, and ease of integration. Kudos to the team.
