Previously we introduced a separate Third-party push platform: Aurora push (Jpush), a lot of domestic products are used in its push service, your phone may be a message from its server.

In the face of developers and products, readers have a few questions: push is not necessary, can solve the problem by themselves rather than third-party services to solve the push; how to consider a qualified third party push, and so on. The small series interviewed several developers who used the Aurora push service to see how they answered the question.

Yoka Fashion Net

Famous fashion new media platform Yoka also has some products such as "Hot Man" and "magazine GoGoGo", are used Jpush to do push. Yoka has a lot of products, but it has been the team from the Internet to find some of the push of open source solutions to solve the problem of push. "At the beginning of the user is less time to meet, but to the back of the user to the millions level when the server is obviously unable to withstand." "There are two ways to solve this problem: continue to invest in human and high server maintenance costs, or adopt third-party push services." The cost-performance ratio is clear, so they start looking for the right third-party push service.

Because oneself also did push to send, so to which one's push service better Xu Xin (Yoka technical director) has own judgment. In the Internet to collect information, bubble forum and Advice Circle friends, Xu Xin soon locked several push service, after comparison, finally chose Jpush.

"Its server load capacity is strong, can guarantee a server and 1 million users of the long connection (in fact, Jpush now the number has reached an average of 2 million, peak 3.5 million), because we have done the push, know this is very challenging technical difficulties, Jpush can do this it should be said that the technical level will be more advantageous than others, another advantage is that its access process is almost free of charge, mainly in the push of value-added services, which is a very attractive factor. ”

Xu Xin said: "They have a great advantage is that the technical support of the response is very fast, solve the problem is timely." I tried calling them 10 o'clock night (almost 24x7). ”

In a short conversation, Xu Xin repeatedly praised Jpush's response speed and problem-solving attitude. Jpush is not a flawless product, but a fast and progressive, continuous improvement of the product.

Hot men and magazine GoGoGo is also very simple to use the scene: The new magazine online, the new content online to remind users to open the client to see. Next, Xu Xin wants to add some selective tweets: for example, to hold an offline event in Beijing and push messages only to users in the Beijing area, such as by sex and age, to differentiate between users and push.

At the same time Xu Xin also mentioned that, because of the current custom system and more and more power, some mobile phones in order to save electricity to users, will kill some long connection in the background, directly affect the push of the arrival rate. Xu Xin Hope Jpush can raise the resurrection rate in case the long connection is killed, and guarantee the arrival of the push.

Jpush with the mechanism of long connection, small series previously interviewed Jpush technical director Zhang Hu, he said, "Long connection is the real meaning of the push", small series thought is to sell melons, but Xu Xin also mentioned this point, the same sentence word is not bad.

Yoka's products are many, there will be need to push service. Xu Xin said he also hopes to continue to work with the Aurora, because the Jpush technology base is very good, solve the problem quickly, can be expected to become better, Yoka hope and such a team development.

Chelto

Chelto is a car electronic navigation software. The number of users increased at the end of last year after the function is perfect for the push has the demand, then after understanding several push service, in view of the Jpush function, backstage all comparatively perfect, decided chooses it as the push support; Another important reason is ease of use: "Jpush is easier to butt and match with us, The function operation is simple and clear, the ordinary staff can operate after simple training. ”

At present, car support mainly in the weather change, oil price adjustment, such as the timeliness of relatively strong important information used to push; in the future to see the function of the product and operational conditions, the use of more and more scenarios, for now, the Aurora can cover all the current needs.

Small series of contact with a few products, they are generally iOS by default with Apple Push, Android uses a third party, car support is a little exception, they even use iOS jpush, visible to Jpush trust. According to Jpush's technical director, the user on the iOS selection of Third-party push for the reason is only two points: first, the use of Apple APNs is a development costs, especially in the case of large quantities to achieve stability and reliability, there will be a considerable number of technical difficulties; Ii. and Android Select the same Third-party service can be unified push platform, operation maintenance is simpler. Aurora Push is based on APNs to help developers do a good docking, and provide a unified platform for developers at the same time to the Android and iOS users to push management, in the operation and maintenance of a significant savings in human resources.

For the electronic navigation software, their most important demand for the push service is fast, able to push the region, the current Jpush on these two points, and the latter's technical response and human support and Chelto help team are very good, so cooperation is very pleasant.

"There may be a more comprehensive push service than Jpush, but we need to pick the push service that best fits our product's current product features and operating conditions." In the process of cooperation with the Aurora, their technical response and support is good, we feel good. ”

I love postcards.

I love postcards is a for users in mobile and PC-side to make postcards, online printing and sent to the corresponding address of the application, Lei Feng Network before the evaluation. At present, the user level is relatively small, is also the Aurora pushed a large number of customers. Small series on the experience of the Aurora push to consult its technical director Htway's advice.

I love postcards can i solve the push problem myself?

"The iOS platform uses Apple's own push service; there is no official push on Android, if you do it, it is unlikely to use a long connection (note: Aurora Push is a long connection mechanism) and it is likely to use the client polling way, the technology is relatively simple, but the push effect is poor; ”

Jpush is the only third party push service I've ever used for postcards so far. Postcard team for push service requirements are two points: 1, push to timely, accurate delivery to 2, push management interface to be convenient, high degree of automation. Jpush meet these two requirements, so did not consider the use of more. Because so far the product is relatively simple, need to use a push of the scene is not much, so the aurora push can basically cover all the needs.

Postcards now need to use a push scenario that is a regular version update, and a user uses some of the nodes of the product process: The postcard production completes the printing, the print completes sends out the confirmation to send the message to remind the user, these are for individual user's single push, The next version may include a mass push message on some holidays: for example, Mother's Day will remind users to make a postcard to send to their mother, the Spring Festival prompts the production of cards and so on.

Summary: Most conscientious and real product team know how to use the push, will not be extravagant. Push as a professional market has not been a long time to start, the need for multiple efforts to build together. Is it possible that the Aurora push will be the part that pushes the pie in the field? It's worth looking forward to.
