How do you handle real time features in a social app MVP?

We use WebSockets for instant messaging and live feed updates. The architecture separates real time events from the REST API so your social app stays responsive even under heavy load. Typing indicators, presence status, and new post notifications all flow through a single persistent connection per user. We have shipped social apps handling 5,000 concurrent connections on day one infrastructure.

Can a 14 day social app MVP support content moderation at scale?

Yes. We integrate AI based content scanning that flags text and images before they reach your feed. A moderation queue lets your team review flagged content with one click approve or remove. Automated rules handle spam accounts and repeat offenders. One social app client reduced manual moderation time by 80% using this system within the first month.
