Build Your Commerce App with Live FOMO Counters

This guide will demonstrate how to build FOMO (Fear Of Missing Out) based commerce features using Actionbase’s real-time aggregation capabilities.

  • “N users viewing now” - real-time viewer count
  • “N users wished recently” - time-windowed wish count
  • Time-bucketed activity aggregation (hourly, minutely, etc.)
  • Property-based aggregation

Actionbase Capability: Real-Time Aggregation

Section titled “Actionbase Capability: Real-Time Aggregation”

Actionbase supports real-time aggregation of user interactions:

  • Time buckets: Aggregate by hour, minute, or custom intervals
  • Discrete values: Aggregate by property values
  • Activity counts: Count user interactions in real time
  • Property aggregation: Sum, count, and other aggregations on edge properties

This enables commerce features like live viewer counts and trending indicators without external caching or batch processing.

This guide will be available in a future release. Start with the Build Your Social Media App guide to learn Actionbase’s core functionality first.
