EnMasse Mesh

The distributed engine-room, EnMasse Mesh

Under the hood, the Interaction Cloud uses a proprietary, replicable mesh architecture created by Monterosa and running on Amazon Web Services. It provides unparalleled scale and failure tolerance:

• Instant publishing

• Minimal latency

• No caching of live content

• CDN serves only assets

• Rapid fail-over if AWS instance dies

Key Facts

• EnMasse Mesh is created in low-level C++ and is a highly efficient distributed connection transport system

• It runs on hundreds of AWS boxes at a time

• Actual processing of votes takes place at the edge in order to provide maximum scale

• If one box dies, a client device can reconnect and maintain its state, often without user interruption

• Client applications connect first over persistent websockets and secure websockets. Fail-over to long polling via HTTP/S when required, although this is slower.
