What is RealtimeKit?

RealtimeKit is a developer platform for building and scaling real-time applications - without the usual tradeoffs. Where most setups are complex, rigid, or compromise on performance, RealtimeKit offers both speed and flexibility.

Cloudflare’s RealtimeKit handles the low-level infrastructure - managing media transfer, networking logic, and exposing developer-friendly APIs for seamless builds. With UI Kit and ready-to-use tools, you can either start customizing quickly or opt for a barebone setup for complete control.

02 | Comprehensive Product Suite

Build and ship real-time apps in minutes.

RealtimeKit’s components and Cloudflare’s entire suite of products allows you to build real-time AI apps and more in one unified platform.

1. Start Integrating

Create a meeting with built-in authentication to validate participant access and roles. Platform-ready SDKs automatically manage tracks, letting you move quickly to the UI layer. For a faster setup, use the UI Kit with pre-built components or build your own UI.

  • Bridge VOIP calls

    SIP Dial-in

  • Enhance Calls

    Transcription, i18n & Noise Cancellation

3. Integrate AI

Now, you can also create custom AI functionalities on top of your media streams. Connect to an LLM running directly on Cloudflare or use AI Gateway to integrate to popular providers.

Sometimes, you will need to go back to the LLM, and re-evaluate the plan based on new variables, and we support that too.

4. Monitor Performance

Finally, get visibility into call quality with real-time analytics and logs. Track latency, packet loss and other key metrics through the dashboard or call stats APIs so you can debug faster and optimise confidently.

03 | Scale + Reliability

Security. Scale. Speed. In a league of its own

Latency is critical for real-time apps. Anything above ~100ms starts to feel sluggish. 

RealtimeKit runs on Cloudflare’s global Anycast network, delivering sub ~50ms latency 95% of the time without the need for any complex infrastructure tuning.
