About the UK Messaging Team
The UK Messaging Team strives to create the fastest, most reliable messaging platforms in the industry. Java is the main
tool we use, but we use plenty of other technologies in addition to deliver our systems.
We are always evaluating new technologies in order to be able to select the right tool for the right job. Our most recent
work has included the design and implementation of a new backend for our SMS platform that is low latency, high
throughput, horizontally scalable, and geo-redundant.
In doing so, we looked beyond the technologies already in use in the team. For instance, we became familiar with almost
every NoSQL technology we could think of, and have put into production systems based on Redis, ElasticSearch, and
Hadoop.
Our customers – who include many brands you will know – have used our systems to communicate using SMS worldwide.
These systems are built by either using our API directly, or by using the other systems OpenMarket provides which then
call the messaging APIs to send and receive the messages.
We work very closely with the other OpenMarket development teams, including those in the US.
In fact, the improvement work we’re doing to the SMS platform is a joint project with the US SMS team, and there’s plenty
of video calls and travel across the Atlantic to help make that project a success!
