JuggleIM is a high-performance, scalable instant messaging platform with an open-source Go server, multi-platform client SDKs, server APIs, WebHooks, admin tooling, and production-ready chat applications.
Choose a self-hosted private deployment for full control over data and infrastructure, or use the managed cloud to start quickly. The same platform supports everything from a two-person conversation to a 100,000-member group and large live chatrooms.
