Message Platform - پیام رسان تله پاتی
A production-grade real-time messaging platform built with Go to learn distributed systems, ScyllaDB, and modern backend architecture.
The goal of this project is not to build another Telegram or WhatsApp clone.
Instead, the objective is to design and implement a production-grade messaging platform that demonstrates modern backend engineering practices, distributed system design, and scalable architecture.
The project focuses on solving engineering problems rather than building UI features.
Real-time messaging systems combine many challenging backend concepts into a single product, including:
- High write throughput
- Low latency communication
- Real-time data synchronization
- Distributed architecture
- Horizontal scalability
- Event-driven communication
- Fault tolerance
- Efficient data modeling
This project serves as a hands-on environment to explore these concepts.
The project aims to provide practical experience with:
- Go
- ScyllaDB
- WebSocket
- gRPC
- Event-Driven Architecture
- NATS JetStream
- Redis
- MinIO
- Docker
- Kubernetes
- OpenTelemetry
- Prometheus
- Grafana
The system is designed around the following principles:
- Simplicity over unnecessary complexity
- Query-first data modeling
- Modular architecture
- Event-driven communication
- Horizontal scalability
- Production-ready code
- Observability by default
- Infrastructure as Code
- Clean Architecture
The project will evolve through multiple phases.
Modular Monolith
Focus on:
- Domain Design
- ScyllaDB
- WebSocket
- Clean Architecture
Distributed Services
Split modules into independent services.
Introduce:
- gRPC
- NATS JetStream
- Service-to-Service Communication
Production Infrastructure
Deploy the platform using:
- Kubernetes
- Distributed Tracing
- Metrics
- Logging
- CI/CD
The following features are intentionally excluded from the early phases:
- Voice Calls
- Video Calls
- Stories
- Live Streaming
- AI Assistants
- Payment Systems
- End-to-End Encryption
- Multi-Region Deployment
These features may be explored in future versions.
The project will be considered successful when it demonstrates:
- Scalable backend architecture
- Efficient ScyllaDB data modeling
- Reliable real-time messaging
- Production-grade engineering practices
- Clear documentation
- Automated testing
- Easy deployment
This repository is intended for:
- Backend Engineers
- Distributed Systems Enthusiasts
- Go Developers
- Recruiters
- Technical Interviewers
- Software Engineering Students
Every architectural decision in this repository should be documented.
Every database table should exist because of an access pattern.
Every module should have a single responsibility.
Every feature should prioritize correctness, simplicity, and maintainability over unnecessary complexity.
