Análisis de Desempeño de Servicios de Notificación en la Nube: Twilio y Google SMTP
Resumen
This study provides a practical foundation for optimizing notification systems in critical applications, combining efficiency, security, and scalability This study analyzes the performance of Twilio and Google SMTP (Simple Mail Transfer Protocol) cloud-based notification services, focusing on latency, costs, and CPU usage rather than proposing a new software design. Using the Extreme Programming (XP) methodology to structure experimental iterations—selected for its emphasis on rapid feedback and iterative improvement—we evaluated key metrics across various hardware platforms (Intel® CoreTM i3, i5, i7 and Apple M1). Controlled tests reveal that Google SMTP achieves lower latency subject to throughput limitations, while Twilio delivers consistent messaging performance at a fixed per- message cost. Our results provide practical insights for optimizing real-time notification systems in critical applications. Future work will explore integration of more scalable technologies, such as Firebase Cloud Messaging and RabbitMQ.
