Or simply want to innovate the messaging app market? Online communication has become a new normal these days. Communication software like WhatsApp, Viber, Telegram, and other tools that are an integral part of our lifestyle.

Initially, the system used XMPP (Extensive Messaging, Presence Protocol) to manage one to one and group communications. Further, the team created the internal protocol to support communication with end-to-end encryption.
WhatsApp uses YAWS (Yet Another Web Server) for data storing and HTML5 WebSockets to create a solid connection between a server and messenger.

The system uses LYCE/LYME architecture consisting of the open-source solutions to develop highly available and dynamic pages.

• Operating system- Linux
