Automotive Home Push Platform Architecture and Future Development

This article provides a comprehensive overview of the Automotive Home Push Platform, a critical messaging infrastructure that has evolved over nearly a decade to support multiple applications including Automotive Home, Automotive Home Express, Automotive Price Quotes, Used Car Home, and Automotive People. The platform handles billions of messages daily across dozens of business lines.

The platform's architecture is divided into several key components: Applications (the various apps that interact with users and collect behavioral data), Channels (integration with Apple APNs, Huawei Push Kit, Xiaomi MiPush, OPPO PUSH, vivo Vpush, and a self-built Android channel), Business (including manual operations, intelligent recommendations using machine learning, direct business pushes, and scenario-based automated tasks), Services (a complete service layer including management backend, APIs, SDKs, data synchronization, computing analysis, and channel processing), and Data (handling over 2TB daily through microservices and cloud-native architecture).

The platform employs a comprehensive monitoring and alerting system with over 150 monitoring items covering the entire message lifecycle from generation to user interaction. The system provides real-time alerts through DingTalk, SMS, phone calls, and reports to ensure rapid response to any anomalies.

Looking forward, the platform plans to evolve toward user-centric message distribution, including message targeting, quota optimization, business integration, soft scheduling, and message prioritization. The goal is to provide more intelligent, personalized experiences while supporting business growth.

The article concludes with author introductions for Li Song and Yuan Xuxiao, both senior system development engineers at Automotive Home who have been involved in push platform development since 2016-2018.
