It sounds like you might want to try Firebase
<https://www.firebase.com/how-it-works.html>, which was acquired by Google

<https://www.firebase.com/blog/2014-10-21-firebase-joins-google.html>.
There's a bunch of case studies available on how to build games or chat
<https://www.firebase.com/customers/roll20-case-study.html>services on

<https://www.firebase.com/tutorial/#gettingstarted>.
