Case Study: IntelliSMS achieves scalable, resilient SMS messaging with SoftwareMill

IntelliSMS scales heavy-load messaging for 2+ years with SoftwareMill

SoftwareMill was engaged by IntelliSMS, a provider of mobile communication services, to overcome scalability and reliability challenges with their legacy MessageCore4 platform. As their SMS traffic volume grew, the existing system struggled to perform, hindering business and making the codebase difficult to maintain. The core requirements for the new system were to create a scalable architecture that could handle increasing message volumes and ensure reliable, persistent messaging.

SoftwareMill designed and built the next-generation MC5 system with a scalable architecture of independent components communicating asynchronously. They used technologies including Java, Scala, Akka, and MongoDB to create a performant and resilient platform. The system has been in production for two years, proving it works well under load and that the codebase remains maintainable. SoftwareMill delivered a cost-effective solution that allows IntelliSMS to scale for future traffic and easily add new features.
