Ring Letter Liu Junyan: The most concern is the stability of instant messaging services

Founded in early 2013, the ring letter instant Messaging cloud is a cloud computing PAAs platform provider that provides mobile instant messaging capabilities. They will be based on mobile Internet instant messaging capabilities, through the open cloud of the Rest API and the client SDK package to provide to developers and enterprises. and fully support the Android, IOS, web and other platforms, so that mobile developers get rid of heavy mobile IM communication low-level development, minimize product development cycle, the shortest time to let the app have mobile IM capabilities.

The founding team from the developers, they know well the mobile Im all kinds of pits and difficulties, know a support tens of thousands of users of the chat server to a tens of millions of users online operating level of the chat server gap. So they are the product server architecture, traffic, power, long connection, voice, location, security and other capabilities to do the ultimate optimization, so that developers through a simple API call can be 0 threshold to get mature operation level of mobile IM technology. In the interview with founder Liu Junyan, he said that the ring letter to do the ultimate communication cloud services, and the ultimate communication cloud services can be a short period of time, quickly help users of the app to achieve more social functions, and can communicate across the platform. In addition, he believes that there is a larger ecological circle outside the micro-letter, composed of tens of thousands of vertical apps, there are thousands of vertical communication scenes. This article comes from the interview arrangement of Liu Junyan.

Ring Letter Instant Messenger Cloud founder Liu Junyan

CSDN: First of all, simple and you introduce yourself, ring letter and technical team?

Liu Junyan: Hello everyone, I am Liu Junyan founder of the ring letter. Ring Letter Instant Messaging Cloud was founded in early 2013, is the largest mobile real-time communication capabilities of the cloud computing PAAs platform service provider. Based on the mobile Internet's instant messaging capabilities, the open Rest API and the client SDK package are available to developers and businesses in the cloud. All four of our founders are technology developers. The team now has 35 people, 20 of whom are engineers. Two founders were 40 years old, and two other founders were more than 30 years old, a fairly stable team. Previously interviewed our people, said that we are very typical of the "elderly" entrepreneurial team, is a dream of people to start a business, I was doing Red Hat open source background middleware research and development.

CSDN: This year, the domestic communications cloud market is very hot, can you share your progress this year?

Liu Junyan: As of the middle of October this year, through the Ring Letter SDK to achieve 82 million registered ID users coverage. These registered ID users are integrated with the IM function through 8,402 apps in the use of the ring letter. Ring Letter Instant Messaging cloud with Dolphin server, moral selection and Dragonfly FM and so on to reach cooperation. Covered app fields include but are not limited to the interests of social networking, electric business O2O, mobile medicine, online education, life services, smart hardware, customer service, enterprise applications. Ring Letter since the on-line in the user scale has always maintained a high growth trend, and the growth of the ring letter high increase is due to the high quality of the ring letter for better use.

CSDN: With the increasing demand of users, the demand for communication cloud services is increasing, how do you continuously meet the needs of customers?

Liu Junyan: The most concern is the stability, reliability, and message arrival rate of instant messaging services, as these are the lifeblood of the app and are directly related to the usability of the app. And ring letter in this respect the biggest advantage is to have proven by the vast number of customers. There are already 50 million registered users on the Ring letter platform. Over 10 million of the Super app has nearly 10, including Dragonfly FM and tens of millions of users. is integrated with Dolphin Browser, the world has a billion users. So the ring letter has withstood the practice test of Super app.

Developers will also be concerned about the scalability and flexibility of the platform. The ring letter ensures scalability and flexibility through 2 aspects. One is that the platform is as open and open as possible. I have given you the source code, you still want to change it. Often have the developer to ask the ring letter, chat page I want to do a message type support does not support, I would like to change the style of chat bubble support does not support. Our answer is very simple, that is, the source code on the GitHub location and corresponding documents to him. Second, the API design is as concise as possible and extensible. On the 2nd, Ring Letter API design is also withstood the practice of postgraduate. Ring-letter platform has been nearly million apps, their needs can be described as strange. So far, the API of the ring letter has been able to meet the needs of all of them.

CSDN: The ring letter has always emphasized the focus, the ultimate, the communication ability to do the best, then what do you think the ultimate communication cloud service is like?

Liu Junyan: Can quickly help users achieve more social functions in the app, and can communicate across platforms.

CSDN: Share your Instant Messaging cloud platform to create the process, what are the technical advantages?

Liu Junyan: We do this instant Messaging cloud service because we've seen developers doing the same thing over and over again, wasting time, resources and energy. We wondered if we could make a standardized instant Messaging cloud service module for use on mobile Internet for developers to use? After investigation, we found that the market demand is very big, and we are a few of the long-term development of open source software, so we have today's ring letter.

The basic function of the ring letter, the function of micro-trust, Ring letter has, the function of micro-letter, ring letter has. When chatting, messages send receipts, custom message types, and other micro-letter functions. Group chat can support a large group of 500 or 2000 people. There are real-time voice, real-time video, Web IM and other functions.

We spent a lot of time on the real-time communication is very fine place to do the optimization, for example, in the flow optimization, power optimization, network environment, such as the stability of the long link optimization, we have done very meticulous work, these are actually very time-consuming work. Ring Letter provides a variety of styles of UI templates, 100% Open source, which means that developers can use directly, but also on the basis of the source code to quickly change the appropriate chat page.

At the same time, we pay great attention to security, so do a lot of security processing, end-to-end encryption, local storage encryption, server-side encryption, image encryption. In short, we have a purpose is to reduce the developer to develop appropriate application of the threshold, faster and better for its development into application.

CSDN: What is the maximum number of concurrent numbers currently supported, what are the challenges to the platform, and what optimizations have you made?

Liu Junyan: If you make an app, you need two or three people on the front end and back end, about three or four months. But the app is a highly concurrent type of app that can't be done without Yinianbanzai. We want to ensure that the information in the complex environment is not lost, in a variety of tens user volume of the app can work. So far, through the ring letter SDK generated by 80 million of registered users, we have done in practice without losing the message.

CSDN: What impact does your own open source experience have on this platform?

Liu Junyan: Our team of four founders are open source, we have participated in Commitor as a number of well-known open source projects, such as one of the founders of Liu Shaohong participated in Hibernate, Usergrid and Gradle, I personally participated in the Apache CXF, It's the technical lead, and a lot of the code is my contribution. I was also involved with JBoss Drools, JBoss JBPM, and the Eclipse STP, and our other founder, Ma Xiaoyu, was involved in the project. We used to be developers, and we know the developers best. In the whole system, we use open source attitude for developers to provide services to the technology and ability to open to everyone.

CSDN: relative to their own development, the use of your IM services, in addition to save time, the cost will be reduced, but with the increase in users, these advantages may appear insignificant, after all, their own development, the initiative is still in their hands.

Liu Junyan: When the technology platform has developed to a certain extent, the technology which is strong, does not depend on the technology, but depends on the attitude towards the developer.

CSDN: What are the problems that users are most concerned about, and how do you solve them?

Liu Junyan: The issues that users are most concerned with are platform stability, SDK integration time, and more new features coming online. We have a continuous upgrade to the server way, at the same time developed a rigorous testing, on-line flow, testing environment, sandbox environment, production environment separation process to ensure the stability of the platform. In the technical support, we expand the technical support and customer service team, take 1 to 1 of the way, 7*24 hour technology service concept, to ensure faster user completion of integration, testing, on-line. Similarly, with the advent of the 4G era, the ring letter will also be the end of the year to add real-time audio, video features, better service to developers, let the app's social functions rich.

CSDN: Do you have anything to add?

Liu Junyan: We feel that there is a larger biosphere beyond the micro-letter, consisting of tens of thousands of vertical apps, with thousands of vertical communication scenarios, at which time social interaction is scattered. This is a vertical chain of relationships that is independent of the social circle of acquaintances. Each app growth space must be in the vertical social chain, in the vertical social chain to do a good job, do deep and do it well, there is room for survival. Ring letter is to help developers grasp each of these opportunities, because the previous cost is too high, the ring letter to help developers to the cost down, his users stay in his app, forming a trading closed loop.

We believe that future app development must be the standard function of modular and API world. Countless Third-party developer services help developers develop apps faster and more quickly. such as cloud storage, security reinforcement, push, social sharing, key/value storage, etc.

But these, the ring letter does not do. Ring letter believe that with each kind of do, each kind can not do the industry first, as a single service to do the best, to achieve the ultimate, this will be possible to help developers.
