Highly Reliable SMS & IM Microservices Platform with FastAPI  & Odoo
A leading Airlines company managing global fleet operations, requiring a robust, scalable messaging platform to communicate with customers, vendors, and internal teams across multiple channels.

Project Objective

To build a highly scalable, fault-tolerant Messaging Middleware platform fully integrated with Odoo, delivering seamless communication through:

SMS (multi-provider),WhatsApp,Telegram,Viber,RocketChat,Email

with intelligent load balancing, automated provider failure handling, real-time dashboards, and deep Odoo integration.

Business Challenges

  • Fragmented messaging across SMS, IM, and email channels.
  • Manual fallback process when providers failed — causing delays in critical communications.
  • No real-time visibility into message delivery performance.
  • No centralized, Odoo-based messaging interface for users.
  • Required seamless scalability to handle varying volumes of messaging traffic.

 

    Solution Overview

    A custom-built Messaging Middleware Platform was architected and implemented with the following key components:

    Messaging Microservices Layer:

    • FastAPI-based microservices for asynchronous, multi-threaded message processing.
    • Load balancing across multiple SMS providers: Dhiraagu, Ooredoo, Azure SMS, Dinstar.
    • Dynamic provider suspension & reactivation based on real-time delivery performance (SDSR).
    • Automatic fallback to IM channels (WhatsApp, Telegram, Viber) in case of SMS channel failures.
    • Multi-channel retry mechanism — messages retried across alternate providers/platforms.
    • Full delivery tracking using webhooks from SMS providers.

    Odoo 18 User Integration

     Unified Messaging UI inside Odoo — accessible to Sales, Marketing, Operations users.
     Ability to send messages to:

    • Internal users
    • Customers
    • Vendors
      • SMS Blast via Excel — mass messaging with dynamic personalization fields (e.g. $$FirstName$$).
      • AD group-based messaging and permission controls.
      • Real-time live status dashboard in Odoo:
    • Per-channel and per-provider delivery performance
    • Historical analytics (daily, monthly)
    • CSV export for reporting.

            Monitoring & Administration

            • Dynamic load balancing configuration — managed via Odoo and mirrored in Redis for fast updates.
            • Automated alerts via email for:
              • Provider suspension due to poor delivery rate.
              • Service downtime (e.g. no SMS sent in 15 mins).
                • Admin control to enable/disable providers or IM channels in real time.
                • Full audit trails and logs for all message activity.

            Architecture & Scalability

            •  ThreadPoolExecutor enables highly parallelized message sending:
              • SMS batch size: 200 (production), 10 (testing).
              • Parallel workers: configurable (default 5).
                • Dynamic config reloaded live from database and Redis — no service restarts required.
                • Dockerized microservices stack for scalable deployment.

            Key Technologies

            • FastAPI for REST APIs & messaging orchestration.
            • PostgreSQL for Odoo and configuration management.
            • MSSQL for SMS queue and delivery tracking.
            • Redis for real-time provider state & config cache
            • Python 3.8+, Dockerized deployment.
            • Odoo 17 for front-end messaging UI & reporting.

                    Outcomes & Business Impact

                    • >99% delivery success rate across SMS and IM channels.
                    • Automated fallback mechanism eliminated manual intervention for message failures.
                    • Real-time monitoring & control gave business users confidence in messaging reliability.
                    • 70% faster delivery of mass communications via optimized microservice architecture.
                    • Seamless user experience — Odoo became the single interface for multi-channel messaging.
                    • Platform designed for future extensibility — additional IM channels or new providers can be added easily.
