Real-Time Tips

Tips are the core data type in Statbate. Every tip across all six platforms is captured as it happens.

How It Works​

  1. Collector connects — A Go-based collector maintains WebSocket connections to active rooms on each platform
  2. Tip event fires — When a viewer sends a tip, the platform broadcasts the event
  3. Collector captures — The collector receives the event and extracts tip details
  4. Database insert — The tip is batched and inserted into ClickHouse within seconds
  5. Available for query — The tip appears in Statbate dashboards and search results

Latency​

Tips typically appear in the database within 30 seconds of the actual tip event. This includes:

  • WebSocket message delivery (< 1 second)
  • Collector processing (< 1 second)
  • Batch insert interval (up to 30 seconds)

Coverage​

Collectors track thousands of rooms simultaneously per platform. Room lists are refreshed periodically to add newly streaming models and remove offline ones.

Not every room is tracked — collectors prioritize rooms with active viewers. Very low-traffic rooms may not be monitored.

Deduplication​

Tips are deduplicated to prevent double-counting. Each platform has its own deduplication strategy based on unique event identifiers.
