The software was developed to solve at least three problems, according to developer Evan Prodromou: provide a scalable server framework for mobile social networking applications, implement activity streams in non-social software, and connect interoperating applications.<ref name="pumpIntOS">{{cite web |url=http://opensource.com/life/13/7/pump-io |title=pump.io: the decentralized social network that's really fun |author=Behrenshausen, Bryan |publisher=Red Hat, Inc |work=OpenSource.com |date=15 July 2013 |accessdate=06 January 2015}}</ref>

Primary technical differences between pump.io and StatusNet are<ref name="SNWillis">{{cite web |url=http://lwn.net/Articles/544347/ |title=StatusNet, Identi.ca, and transitioning to pump.io |author=Willis, Nathan |publisher=Eklektix, Inc |work=LWN.net |date=27 March 2013 |accessdate=06 January 2015}}</ref>:

* pump.io sends "activity messages as JSON rather than as Atom"
* pump.io defines "a simple REST inbox API instead of using PubSubHubbub and Salmon to push messages to other servers"
* pump.io uses "a new database abstraction layer called Databank," which supports NoSQL databases as well as relational databases, rather than depending on MySQL

==Product history==

pump.io was formerly StatusNet, which was originally called "Laconica," a reference to the Laconic phrase, a particularly concise or terse statement.<ref>{{cite web |url=http://www.thefreedictionary.com/Laconic+phrase |title=definition of Laconic phrase |work=The Free Dictionary |publisher=Farlex, Inc |accessdate=4 April 2012}}</ref> On August 28, 2009, Laconica was renamed to StatusNet coinciding with the release of version 0.8.1 (aka "Second Guessing") of the StatusNet software.<ref name="laconica-is-now-statusnet" /> Of the new name, developer Even Prodromou said it "simply reflects what our software does: send ''status'' updates into your social ''net''work."<ref name="laconica-is-now-statusnet" />

On December 18, 2012, Prodromou announced the end of StatusNet, to be replaced by a new company name E14N and product pump.io. StatusNet services were expected to be shut off completely by February 1, 2013.<ref name="SNClosing">{{cite web |url=http://status.net/2012/12/18/upcoming-changes-in-the-status-net-service |archiveurl=https://web.archive.org/web/20140214055234/http://status.net/2012/12/18/upcoming-changes-in-the-status-net-service |title=Upcoming changes in the status.net service |author=Prodromou, Evan |work=Status.Net Blog |date=18 December 2012 |archivedate=14 February 2014 |accessdate=05 January 2015}}</ref> In March 2013, tech writer Nathan Willis theorized "StatusNet never quite reached its original goal of becoming a decentralized, multi-site platform" because their site Identi.ca which used the technology "was quickly branded as an open source 'Twitter replacement' ...
