A local stack of five containers — Proxy, Redis, Aerospike, SMSC emulator and Jaeger — comes up with a single command and is ready for testing.

What is in the local stack

  • SMS Gateway Proxy

    Accepts HTTP and gRPC requests, keeps SMPP sessions to operators, tracks DLR.

  • Redis

    Distributed rate limiter and MCP policy counters.

  • Aerospike

    In-memory storage for DLR statuses and message state.

  • SMSC emulator

    Local SMSC for tests without connecting to a real operator.

  • Jaeger

    Distributed tracing across every component.
