Deploy CPaaS RCS Platform on DigitalOcean

Expanded Statement of Work — RCS Public API & Connector Platform
1. Performance SLAs (Benchmark-Oriented)
The system must be architected to meet enterprise CPaaS-grade performance expectations comparable to major providers.

• API Throughput Target (Baseline):
- Sustain minimum 500–1,000 send requests/sec under normal load.
- Burst handling up to 3,000 TPS with graceful queuing (no message loss).

• Queue Processing SLA:
- Campaign enqueue latency: < 200 ms per batch.
- Worker dequeue + dispatch latency: < 1 second under steady load.

• Delivery Pipeline SLA:
- Status callback processing: < 2 seconds end‑to‑end.

• Horizontal Scaling Expectation:
- Architecture must allow stateless API scaling.
- Queue workers must scale independently.
- Database read/write contention mitigation strategy required.

• Reliability Targets:
- Zero message loss guarantee with idempotent retry logic.
- Queue durability with persistence verification.

• Monitoring Metrics:
- TPS tracking
- Queue lag
- Worker throughput
- API response time
- Failure rate alerts
