From critical security codes to marketing campaigns, messaging platforms play a central role in connecting companies with their audiences. In this article, we take an inside look at <a href=\"https:\/\/quriiri.fi\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Quriiri,<\/a> a Finnish messaging company, and how it\u2019s building a resilient, scalable messaging platform powered by UpCloud infrastructure.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><em>Listen to the full conversation on Cloudscapes available on <\/em><strong><em><a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=2b12Pf9gfa0\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">YouTube<\/a>, <a href=\"https:\/\/open.spotify.com\/episode\/596NQxUnJjdNMNWcZiMXAE?si=Jh3jtfkGQHKQOYpP5J-mhA&amp;nd=1&amp;dlsi=e25f70e2af7f47a5\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Spotify<\/a>, <a href=\"https:\/\/podcasts.apple.com\/pt\/podcast\/messaging-without-limits-how-quriiri-builds-for-scale\/id1809956924?i=1000723688928\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Apple Podcasts<\/a> <\/em><\/strong><em>or your favorite podcast platform.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>A decade of messaging innovation<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Founded nearly 10 years ago, <a href=\"https:\/\/quriiri.fi\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Quriiri <\/a>specializes in a messaging platform supporting SMS, email, RCS, and other channels. Its mission is to help businesses reach their customers effectively, regardless of size, from solo entrepreneurs to public organizations.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Thomas Wahlberg, CTO of Quriiri, explains, \u201cOur customers have very diverse needs. Some send critical one-time passwords, while others send marketing messages or general updates. Our job is to ensure those messages reach their audience reliably and securely.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Trust and security at the core<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">A key differentiator for Quriiri is the emphasis on trust and verification. Historically, SMS traffic has faced challenges with scams and fake sender IDs. Quriiri has tackled this head-on, implementing robust sender verification processes, particularly as richer messaging formats like RCS gain traction.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote is-layout-flow wp-block-quote-is-layout-flow\">\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cUsers need to know the sender is who they think it is. With RCS, this verification becomes more robust, and it builds confidence in every interaction,\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Thomas Wahlberg, CTO at Quriiri<\/strong><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Security isn\u2019t just about compliance but a daily practice. Quriiri enforces multi-factor authentication, strict access control, <a href=\"https:\/\/upcloud.com\/global\/docs\/guides\/managing-ssh-keys\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">SSH key<\/a> usage, and regular cleanup of data. It also has disaster recovery plans in place so that even in worst-case scenarios, the platform can be restored quickly.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Scaling infrastructure for modern messaging<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Running a messaging platform at scale is technically demanding. Quriiri\u2019s platform includes a database, message queues, and tens of microservices. To meet performance needs:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/upcloud.com\/global\/products\/block-storage\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">MaxIOPS Block Storage<\/a> ensures fast database transactions and microservice performance.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/upcloud.com\/global\/products\/object-storage\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Object Storage<\/a> provides cost-efficient media storage for rich content like images and videos.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">All of this runs on UpCloud infrastructure, providing reliable, high-performance servers that can scale according to demand.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote is-layout-flow wp-block-quote-is-layout-flow\">\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cUsing UpCloud\u2019s infrastructure has been crucial. It allowed us to provide configurable servers through a user-friendly interface, and it gave us the reliability we needed from day one.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Thomas Wahlberg, CTO at Quriiri<\/strong><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Preparing for the future: RCS, automation, and high availability<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The messaging landscape continues to evolve. Quriiri is preparing for:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>RCS adoption, enabling richer messaging experiences.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>High-availability setups to ensure uptime even under heavy load.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Infrastructure as Code, with <a href=\"https:\/\/upcloud.com\/global\/docs\/tooling\/ansible-with-upcloud\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Ansible<\/a> now and <a href=\"https:\/\/upcloud.com\/global\/docs\/guides\/get-started-terraform\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Terraform<\/a> next, to streamline deployment and recovery.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Automation plays a central role in maintaining speed and reliability. From monitoring system metrics to proactive alerts, Quriiri ensures potential issues are detected and resolved before they impact customers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Lessons learned from a decade of growth<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Reflecting on infrastructure, Wahlberg shares a core lesson in that problems are inevitable, but preparation makes all the difference. Having the right team, processes, and tools allows Quriiri to respond quickly and maintain trust with its customers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote is-layout-flow wp-block-quote-is-layout-flow\">\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cUnexpected issues will always occur. What matters is having a plan, automation, and a team that knows how to tackle challenges effectively\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Thomas Wahlberg, CTO at Quriiri<\/strong><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Why GDPR and data sovereignty matter<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Operating in Europe, Quriiri\u2019s customers often require that all systems and data remain within the EU, particularly in Finland. This ensures low latency, compliance with GDPR, and stronger privacy protections. Choosing infrastructure like UpCloud\u2019s that runs in European data centers helps meet these requirements while delivering a seamless messaging experience.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Final thoughts<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Quriiri\u2019s journey illustrates how modern messaging is about more than just sending texts. It\u2019s about building trust, reliability, and compliance into the very infrastructure of communication. By combining innovative messaging technologies with UpCloud\u2019s high-performance infrastructure, Quriiri empowers businesses to connect with their customers securely and efficiently.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Whether you\u2019re a developer, architect, or business leader, Quriiri\u2019s story provides valuable insights into the technical, operational, and strategic considerations behind running a robust messaging platform at scale.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>\ud83c\udfa7 Hear more from Thomas Wahlberg on building reliable, secure, and scalable messaging platforms in Cloudscapes, available on <a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=2b12Pf9gfa0\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">YouTube<\/a>, <a href=\"https:\/\/open.spotify.com\/episode\/596NQxUnJjdNMNWcZiMXAE?si=Jh3jtfkGQHKQOYpP5J-mhA&amp;nd=1&amp;dlsi=e25f70e2af7f47a5\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Spotify<\/a>, <a href=\"https:\/\/podcasts.apple.com\/pt\/podcast\/messaging-without-limits-how-quriiri-builds-for-scale\/id1809956924?i=1000723688928\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Apple Podcasts<\/a>, or your favorite podcast platform.<\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>In today\u2019s digital world, businesses rely on instant, reliable communication to reach their customers.
