Project Summary

I built Colossal to enable multi-channel marketing/messaging across a variety of platforms.

Publishers create feeds and ask their followers to subscribe to those feeds. Subscribers choose where they receive the feed. Initial channel support includes

  • email
  • sms
  • native web + Android
  • Facebook Messenger
  • Slack
  • Twitter DMs

Technology

I used Firebase and Google Cloud Platform extensively.

  • Data is stored in Firestore and the Firebase Realtime Database (RTDB).
  • Logging is fed into BigQuery.
  • Google Cloud Build handles CI/CD.

The front end is Next.js.

I love Next! The routing and static rendering are my favorite parts. I get so sick of complex routing with react-router. Next is a great project and I can't sing its praises enough.
