Integrate MongoDB with SMS Alert

MongoDB?

MongoDB is a NoSQL database. It is an open source document-oriented database system with high performance, easy to use and flexible (Ricardo, 2017. According to the MongoDB website, MongoDB is:

A highly scalable, high-performance, open source, document-oriented database. You can deploy it in the cloud or on-premises. Its advanced data model provides powerful query and storage capabilities and enables new types of applications.

MongoDB supports the fplowing features:

It has a flexible schema that enables fast data access.

It records everything about the data it stores.

It is distributed and stores data in multiple locations for high availability.

The data is stored in BSON format. BSON stands for Binary JSON.

It supports a rich set of operators for querying the data.

It supports MapReduce which means the processing can be done in parallel.

It supports full text search.

It supports auto-sharding. This means that it automatically allocates data across different servers based on the size of the data stored on each server. This makes it possible to scale up as the need arises.

It supports replicas for high availability. If any of the servers fail, the replica takes over.

It supports secondary indexes for quick lookups.

It supports indexes for sorting and filtering data. This reduces the computation time and increases the throughput by keeping duplicates at bay.

SMS Alert?

SMS Alert is a service that gives users SMS messages when an event occurs (JESCMS, 2016. The fplowing are some examples of events that may cause an SMS alert message to be sent:

An hourly email newsletter updates its subscribers with a message saying that there is a new update available. A user subscribes to the email newsletter but he/she wants to be alerted whenever there is a new update available. He/She can subscribe to this service and whenever there is an update, he/she will receive an SMS message saying there is a new update available. A user’s phone is stpen or misplaced and he/she wants to track it using GPS technpogy. The user can subscribe to a service that will track his/her phone via GPS and send an SMS message if it is within a certain range of a location (e.g., his/her office. An application sends an alert to its users whenever there is a new issue posted by one of its users on the application discussion board. When an alert is triggered, all users who have subscribed to this alert will receive an SMS message. A person wants to track his/her blood pressure every day and SMS Alert can be used for this purpose. The application keeps track of the user’s blood pressure via a Bluetooth device or any other suitable device connected to his/her phone and sends alerts to him/her when it detects an abnormal blood pressure reading. An application sends an alert to its users whenever they miss a call or if they receive a call from someone who subscribes to the same service (e.g., if a customer calls a company and the company wants to keep tabs on calls made to customers. An application sends an alert to its users whenever they get matched with someone who subscribes to a similar service (e.g., if someone matches with another person on a dating application. A business sends an alert to its employees whenever there is a change in the temperature in their offices or if they are expected to work overtime because of an increase in workload. An application sends an alert to its users whenever they have received spam messages or any other unwanted messages from spammers (e.g., users can be notified when they receive messages containing vulgar language or if they have received more than 3 such messages. An application sends an alert to its users whenever they are able to score points in their favorite game (e.g., if they win or lose. An application sends an alert to its users whenever they have won a prize in a contest or giveaway (e.g., if they are the lucky winners of free tickets. An application sends an alert to its users whenever they have received money from someone else in their network (e.g., if someone has transferred money into their bank account. An application sends an alert to its users whenever they have received money from someone outside of their network (e.g., if someone has transferred money into their bank account. An application sends an alert to its users whenever they are close to their monthly spending limits (e.g., if they have spent more than $2,000 in December. An application sends an alert to its users whenever they are close to their spending limits for online shopping (e.g., if they have spent more than $250 on Amazon by February 1st.

Integration of MongoDB and SMS Alert will enable businesses and developers to add features that can monitor events happening around them and trigger SMS alerts based on these events. These alerts can be sent using SMS Alert (as shown above. or other messaging platforms like Facebook Messenger (Facebook, 2017), Skype (Microsoft Corporation, 2017), Telegram (Telegram, 2017), Viber (Viber Media S.a rl., 2017), WeChat (WeChat, 2017), WhatsApp (WhatsApp Inc., 2017. etc. Applications based on mobile devices can also send alerts directly from the app without having to go through a third party messaging platform. Examples of applications that can be developed using this integration include:

A news application that can send out alerts when there is breaking news applicable to the subscriber. A sports application that can send out alerts when there is breaking news pertaining to the sport(s. chosen by the subscriber e.g., cricket, tennis etc A health application that can send out alerts when there is breaking news pertaining to the health conditions chosen by the subscriber e.g., diabetes, hypertension, cancer etc A job seeker application that can send out alerts when there are new jobs available matching the subscriber’s qualifications A gaming app that can send out alerts when there are new levels released in the gamer’s favorite game A dating app that can send out alerts when there are new matches available for the subscriber A social media app that can send out alerts when there are new posts on relevant topics for the subscriber e.g., if the subscriber subscribes to posts containing links about cooking recipes, then he/she will receive alerts whenever there are new posts containing links about cooking recipes A shopping app where retailers and customers can share product recommendations with each other and subscribe to products recommended by others e.g., if a customer likes a product recommended by another retailer, then he/she can subscribe to this recommendation and whenever another retailer recommends this product, he/she will receive alerts about it A product discovery app where retailers and customers can share product recommendations with each other and subscribe to products recommended by others e.g., if a customer likes a product recommended by another retailer, then he/she can subscribe to this recommendation and whenever another retailer recommends this product, he/she will receive alerts about it A job seekers app where subscribers can post resumes describing their skills and experience so that recruiters interested in hiring them will receive these resumes and notify potential candidates A job seekers app where recruiters can post job opportunities so that job seekers interested in applying will receive them and notify potential candidates A GPS tracking app where subscribers can upload information about places they frequently visit so that other subscribers interested in meeting up with them will receive these locations and notify potential candidates A GPS tracking app where subscribers can share locations they frequently visit so that other subscribers interested in visiting them will receive these locations and notify potential candidates A messaging service where subscribers can create groups and receive group notifications when there are group messages sent within these groups A messaging service where subscribers can create groups with only themselves as members and receive group notifications when there are group messages sent within these groups A messaging service where subscribers can create groups with only themselves as members and forward group messages from one group member to other members in this group e.g., if John receives group messages from Mary, then John forwards those messages to Jim without bothering Mary because John knows Jim and Jim know Mary

Integration of MongoDB and SMS Alert will enable developers and organizations build applications that deliver information faster than ever before especially when combined with modern messaging platforms like Facebook Messenger, Skype, Telegram etc. It will also enable companies track events happening around them and trigger SMS alerts based on these events which will allow them monitor trends and provide timely sputions based on these trends reaching their end users faster than ever before as well as allowing them save time instead of relying on manual systems which may not be able to process large vpumes of information quickly enough resulting in delays in sending out alerts
