Messaging Exchange (MSGXC)

Multi-modal messaging inc. native push, websockets, web push, fcm, gcm, apn, sms, email with reports in Python & PySpark. Subsystem of the SFPL growth and experimentation framework.

Design

Tracking messaging like we do the rest of internet traffic is essential to understanding our customers and optimizing growth. Messaging exchange (MSGXC) is a central system for dispatching and tracking (see https://github.com/sfproductlabs/tracker) all messgaing (currently supports iOS native, Android native, SMS, Email, Websockets, WebPush notifications). It is broken into 3 main components eXchange Communication Service (xcs - node.js); eXchange Analysis Service (xas - pyspark); and eXchange Scheduler Service (xss - python).

XCS XAS XSS
Dispatching messages (iOS,email etc.) Experimentation and growth Manage experiment iterations and message dispatch
Manage thread subscriptions Provide services to large complex queries using Spark, Hive, Elastic & Cassandra (Elassandra) Schedule system messages

Examples

Using the schema https://github.com/sfproductlabs/msgxc/tree/master/xcs/.setup/schema/cassandra and example data https://github.com/sfproductlabs/msgxc/blob/master/xcs/.setup/schema/cassandra/data.1.test.cql (see also https://github.com/sfproductlabs/msgxc/blob/master/xcs/README.md#a-deeper-look-at-the-schema).

Admin UI

A rudimentary administration user interface written (and extendable) in react is available for use. It's especially useful for testing and sending system messages.

Quickstart

Run dependencies

docker-compose up

This will install Elassandra (Cassandra) and Nats, and initialize the database with the schema above.

Setup

Change the connection parameters to Google FCM/GCM, Sendgrid, Apple, Twilio, etc. and write your own .env file. https://github.com/sfproductlabs/msgxc/blob/master/xcs/.env.sample

Run the service

Go into /xcs

npm start

Urgency

Urgency Device State Example Application Scenario
1 - very-low On power and wifi Advertisements
2 - low On either power or wifi Topic updates
3 - normal On neither power nor wifi Chat or Calendar Message
4 - high Low battery Incoming phone call or time-sensitive alert

Dependencies

Run docker-compose up in the root of this project to get elassandra (cassandra with elastic search), and NATS.io working.

TODO

  • Facebook Ads
  • Google Ads
  • Facebook Messenger
  • LinkedIn
  • Integrate with Apache Superset.
  • Triage. Request -> Prioritization -> Triage (write [messageid/dateuuid, owner]; [owner, msgs], [option Realtime, Nearline, scheduled, failed], [tracking,capture,reporting,recall])
  • Scheduler
  • Processing in batches
  • Multicast using elastic search (instead of slower CQL)
  • Add web notifications and SMS (Amazon/Twilio)
  • Add WebSocket
  • Think about gRPC waste of time
  • Add email fallback w/ templated options (inc. scheduling options)
  • Add "last read" to each method, and ensure not sent in WebSocket first.
