If you’re anything like me, you kinda like building software. Doesn’t matter if it’s a hobby project, something for your mom, or your day job. Building stuff is… fun. Especially in the cloud. Double especially when you build with modern tools and services that prioritize developer experience. 

I spent over a decade of my career building large, enterprise-grade software for the public sector. When I moved over to Momento, I saw how wildly different the momentum, needs, and processes were in startup. And the work I was doing at Momento was a night and day difference than how I was operating on my side projects at home.

That said, there were some similarities across all the fields of development I’ve been a part of. No matter where I was, I was always building modern applications. And modern applications undeniably need two things:

1. キャッシング for fast, seamless performance.
2. Real-time messaging for delivering updates and events instantly.

It doesn’t matter where you work or what you’re building, you need caching and event messaging! However, where you work and what you’re building does change what you care about. Luckily, the Momento data platform has you covered no matter where you are.

For enterprises – reliability at scale

Enterprises operate at a different level. Downtime isn’t just inconvenient – it’s unacceptable. When you’re running mission-critical workloads, you need infrastructure that’s ultra-reliable, lightning fast, と effortlessly scalable.

You get ultra-low latency caching without managing clusters or worrying about scaling limits. No matter how unpredictable your traffic, it just works. And with pay-for-what-you-use pricing, you’re not wasting money on idle capacity during low usage periods.

When you need to keep services and teams in sync, real-time event delivery ensures updates happen instantly. Whether you’re coordinating transactions, running global live streams, or handling backend events, you can count on seamless messaging without operational overhead with Momento Topics.

For enterprises, Momento delivers reliability at scale, so you can focus on building solutions that matter.

For startups – build fast, scale faster

Startups thrive on momentum. You’re experimenting, iterating, and shipping – sometimes all in the same day. You need tools that are easy to adopt, simple to scale, と cost-efficient.

With caching, you get instant setup and seamless scaling that removes infrastructure bottlenecks. No pre-provisioning, no stress. Just fast, consistent performance that grows with your traffic.

When your app needs real-time updates, you get instant, scalable event messaging to power notifications, in-app updates, or backend event streams. It integrates seamlessly with event-driven architectures and services like AWS Lambda and EventBridge, so you don’t lose speed or focus. It also connects everything – browser to backend, backend to backend, even browser to browser!

For startups, Momento keeps infrastructure out of the way so you can build fast and scale without limits.

For indie devs – tools that get out of your way

Side projects are supposed to be fun. You shouldn’t have to deal with complicated setups, sticker shock, or infrastructure headaches. You need tools that are simple, accessible, と free to start.

With Momento, you get a generous free tier and set up so fast, you’ll be writing to your first cache before your coffee cools ☕.

Need real-time features? You can add low-latency messaging in minutes, whether it’s for a chat app, live updates, or a simple dashboard. No credit card, no contracts—just infrastructure that works with only two API calls!

For indie devs, Momento makes building easy so you can focus on creating something cool.

Think you don’t have a use case for Momento?

If you’re building modern applications, we already know you need fast caching and real-time messaging – even if you don’t realize it yet. It doesn’t matter if you’re delivering a live stream to millions of viewers or building the next great multiplayer game – speed, scalability, と reliability are non-negotiable.

Take streaming platforms in メディア＆エンターテイメント, for example. Viewers demand seamless playback, no matter where they are or how many people are watching. With ultra-low latency caching, you can keep media segments close to your audience for smooth, buffer-free streaming. And when it comes to live events, you need real-time updates like stream status, live audience analytics, or group reactions. Momento’s event messaging scales automatically to handle millions of concurrent users without breaking a sweat.

Or look at gaming, where every millisecond counts. Players expect fast responses whether they’re loading leaderboards, saving progress, or jumping into matchmaking. Momento powers instant caching of game state and player data, keeping the experience smooth and lag-free. And when you need to broadcast updates, like in-game announcements or player activity, real-time messaging makes sure they arrive without delay. Whether you’re managing hundreds of concurrent players or hundreds of thousands, Momento scales with you, effortlessly.

The truth is, if you’re building anything for real users—whether it’s video platforms, games, dashboards, or even a hobby project – you have a use case for Momento. It’s caching and messaging that grow with you, no matter what you’re building or where you’re building it.

Ready to build faster, smarter, and smoother?

Whether you’re streaming to millions, building immersive games, or tinkering on a side project, Momento gives you the caching と real-time messaging you need without the complexity.

It’s simple to use, scales effortlessly, and grows with you. Get started in minutes and see how much faster you can build.

Happy coding!
