Paging and SMS platform

Feb 2026 – Aug 2026
Eliminated a legacy Windows application and reduced operational maintenance overhead
  • Led end-to-end delivery of a mission-critical paging and SMS platform, replacing a legacy Windows application with a high-availability microservices stack (Bun/Elysia, Rust, RabbitMQ, PostgreSQL) deployed on Docker Swarm and serving the full customer service team and 30 rotating on-call networking staff.
  • Architected a two-layer monorepo: a transport layer that submits SMS to a carrier SMSC over SMPP and tracks every status transition; and a product layer that ingests Huawei network alarms over IMAP, resolves on-call ownership from Microsoft Entra, and dispatches pages via SMS and email.
  • Built a Rust SMPP transceiver that bridges AMQP and the carrier SMSC as a pure protocol adapter, handling up to 100 messages/second and publishing all status transitions back to the stack for real-time persistence and WebSocket fan-out.
  • Owned full lifecycle of the system, including requirements gathering, stakeholder collaboration, implementation, and deployment.
  • Ensured reliable, 24/7 on-call paging and customer communication with no single point of failure.

Message Flow

▲


The "status update" half of the return path is performed by the server app after it decodes the protobuf message.

sendToQueue protobuf Message basic_consume smpp_consumer submit_sm registered_delivery request_all deliver_sm / DLR status SENDING status SENT status FAILED plus error_reason apps/server in-process consumer queue netops-smpp StreamConsumer delegate MessageProcessor process_stream_entry deserialize_message prost decode mpsc send_tx capacity 100 run_listener connected loop lookup preflight_check when SMS_LOOKUP_API_KEY set do_send builds SubmitSm SMSC Event Incoming DeliverSm Incoming from_event Message status RECEIVED source smpp-server basic_publish exchange smpp rk to_nodejs queue to_nodejs apps/server setupReceiveChannel Postgres message, message_smpp, message_status_history WebSocket topic smpp

Session Lifecycle

▲

health.smpp_bound is set true immediately after a successful bind and false on ConnectionLost.
The Idle state deliberately leaves it true, so an idle-unbound service still reports healthy.

SMPP Transceiver Service

▲

Rust ESME for the stack. It binds to the carrier SMSC as an SMPP transceiver, consumes protobuf-encoded work items from RabbitMQ, submits them as submit_sm, and publishes every status transition plus every inbound deliver_sm back onto the exchange. Here the server app persists it to Postgres and fans it out over WebSocket. The transceiver service does not hold a database connection; it is a pure protocol bridge between AMQP and the SMSC with an optional pre-send number-type lookup and an HTTP readiness probe.

SMPP Server App

▲

HTTP/API front door for SMPP messaging in the stack. A Bun + Elysia application that accepts message requests over HTTP, validates and persists them to Postgres, publishes work batches to RabbitMQ, hands protobuf-encoded messages to the Rust smpp transceiver for submission to the SMSC, consumes status updates coming back from that transceiver, maintains a full status history per message, and exposes monitoring, message-template CRUD, WebSocket fan-out, authentication (better-auth) and an OpenAPI document.

Paging App

▲

Product-level integration of the netops-paging stack. This Bun + Elysia app ingests network alarms from a Huawei alarm mailbox over IMAP, normalizes them into the paging Postgres database, resolves who is currently on call from Microsoft Entra group membership, and pages that person by SMS (through the RabbitMQ -> apps/server -> services/smpp chain) and/or email (direct SMTP). Inbound "ACK" replies flow back through the same broker and clear the alarms. Alarm ingestion, on-call resolution, and dispatch are three separate stages that communicate only through Postgres. The active_alarms view is the boundary: the mail side writes alarm_instance rows, the paging side reads the view (which has already resolved the next escalation level and its contact addresses) and emits messages.
