At the beginning of 2021, Ably had 35 employees in the UK and some pretty ambitious goals for the year ahead. By the summer, we’d raised our Series B funding and with that, came lots of new Ablyans and plans to grow the team rapidly. Just over one year later, we’re up to over 130 employees in the UK, Europe, and the US. While our benefits were quite standard for a start-up of our size, we needed to upgrade our offering to support existing Ablyans. Read more on our blog...

Here at Ably, we're excited to announce our participation and Silver sponsorship of the Kafka Summit 2022, taking place between 25-26 April. The Kafka Summit is the only dedicated technical conference for the Apache Kafka® Community, and it's a great opportunity for anyone building large-scale event-driven systems to learn and share ideas. It's also the perfect event for us to launch the general availability of the Ably Kafka Connector. Click the link to read more!
