The engineering team of ShuttleCloud has started a new habit during the daily meetings. The day before, a member of the team proposes a technical paper or article that should be reading for the rest of the team. The next daily, they talk over the technical paper. Analyzing what they’ve learned or if they have some doubts.
At ShuttleCloud, a fast-growing start-up, our challenge has been to develop the most efficient platform architecture to import billions of messages or email contacts for our major customers, including Gmail, Comcast, and Time Warner Cable.
ShuttleCloud moves more than 400 million contacts per year, close to 35 billion emails. This functionality is available to all Gmail users, a total of 900 million users. Having important clients means really demanding SLAs (Service-Level Agreements), up to 99.5% in some cases.
