Why it works

The case study earns its New Capability tag because Onedio could not build this class of realtime, burst-scalable trivia infrastructure on its own in the required timeframe. The 21-day launch against a four-to-five month industry average is a concrete, attributable benchmark that makes the headline credible. The mechanism is explained with enough technical specificity, covering sub-65ms latency, elastic queuing with Amazon SQS, and connection state recovery, that readers understand what Ably actually did.

Steal this

Anchor the time-to-market claim against an industry baseline. Saying '21 days vs the four-to-five month average for HQ apps' is far more persuasive than just '21 days'.
