Not a database. Not a push notification service. Just realtime events.
What Arifa Does
Arifa is not a database and not Firebase. It’s a simple, backend-agnostic realtime event delivery service. Send notifications, counters, and live updates directly to users instantly—without managing sockets, channels, or infrastructure.
Realtime Notifications
Send instant events to users over WebSockets without managing connections, channels, or reconnections. Perfect for alerts, messages, and live UI updates.
User-Centric Delivery
Events are scoped to individual users (UUID-based), ensuring precise delivery to the right recipient every time, without extra work.
HTTP → WebSocket Bridge
Trigger events with a simple HTTP POST. Arifa handles routing and delivery so your frontend or mobile app just listens—no backend refactoring needed.
Reliable & Scalable
Built for production: automatic reconnections, low-latency delivery, and infrastructure designed to handle high volumes of events.
