The Challenge
Message Bus, a cloud-native application company, was seeking to provide a service that could eliminate the challenges around building email or mobile messaging capabilities into any software or web application. They wanted to offer a viable alternative to using out-of-the-box enterprise messaging software. However, to continue telling a compelling cloud story in the marketplace, they needed to work with a cloud infrastructure provider that could truly deliver all the advantages of the cloud. They needed scalability, consistent performance measurement across their network, CPUs, and disks, support for new standards and technologies, and a true business partner.
About The Customer
Message Bus is an infrastructure application company that was founded in late 2010. The company is the first to provide a cloud-native application that enables and powers Internet messaging across email, mobile, and SMS. The service provided by Message Bus can eliminate the challenges around building email or mobile messaging capabilities into any software or web application. By delivering a truly cloud-native messaging layer – one that reduces messaging to a simple API call – Message Bus gives developers a viable alternative to using out-of-the-box enterprise messaging software. As soon as an application hands a message to the Message Bus API, the service delivers the message and provides real-time reporting. The company's executives have a history of building large-scale systems and successful businesses. They have created a work environment with an agile and merged DevOps structure, where pair programming and test-driven development are part of the corporate culture.
The Solution
Message Bus partnered with Joyent, a cloud infrastructure provider. Joyent provided Message Bus with unparalleled access and control, which was a level of openness that Message Bus had not seen before. As soon as Message Bus migrated its code to Joyent, the code began to run three times faster. Joyent also allowed Message Bus to move workloads as needed to ensure reliability, deliverability, and scaling. Joyent figured out a way to deliver IPv6 straight to Message Bus's load balancers and also partnered with Message Bus to figure out how to support static IP addresses. This helped Message Bus's customers control their IP reputation and get more value out of the service. Joyent also offered flexible pricing that made sense for Message Bus as a startup.

During the 2011/2012 cricket season, 700,000 consumers downloaded the Cricket Live Australia application. Vodafone needed to be able to meet customer demand, but didn’t want to invest in additional resources that would be underutilized during cricket’s off-season.
