Mattermost Newsroom

“We always like to try to participate in standards and stuff like that,” says Hulen, “But at the end of the day, you know, we’re open source. I don’t think you can get a better standard than that…”

Mattermost is keen on integrations. “We do a lot of things to make integrations easier,” says Hulen, “Like, as an example, our web hooks and slash commands are binary level protocol compatible with Slack.

“At Intellyx, we get dozens of PR pitches each day from a wide range of technology vendors,” said Jason Bloomberg, President of Intellyx. “We will only set up briefings with the most disruptive and innovative firms of the lot. That’s why it made sense for us to call out the companies that made the cut.”

The short version of what we did was leverage the orchestration power of Kubernetes and add another layer of orchestration on top of that, which was much more Mattermost-aware, to be able to deploy individual instances of Mattermost quickly and on-demand when a customer signs up for a workspace. This means that each customer who has their own workspace gets their own deployment of single-tenant Mattermost and a set of pods that is only for them.

Additionally, all of this wouldn’t be possible without a ton of other great, open source CNCF projects that we built our Cloud with:

• Prometheus and Thanos for monitoring
• Fluent Bit for log collection
• Flux and ArgoCD for automated deployments
• Helm and the Operator Framework for building and managing deployments
• Chaos Mesh for chaos fault simulation and reliability testing
• And others!
