Many apps rely on real-time, bi-directional communication to give users a great experience. One example is a ride-sharing app like Uber or Lyft, which is built on the messages that are sent between a rider and a driver. A rider selects a starting location and destination, and then the app broadcasts a trip request to all nearby drivers. An available driver accepts the trip and meets the rider at the pick-up address. In the meantime, every move the driver makes is sent to the rider almost instantaneously and the rider can track the trip status as long as it is active.
