[rules-users] Compatibility of Drools for High Traffic events

[Wolfgang Laun]

I've been doing similar things in an ESME (direct SMSC connection) but
without rules, as the conditions were much simpler, and just handling SMS
messages themselves.

I guess you'll base your decision on billing records, possibly in connection
with subscriber data. Billing records might be a bit bulky; and the
class(es) representing them s.b. well structured (bean style). But I have
seen telecommunication provider solutions where the data (from the
subscriber DB) hat to be accessed using property keys, which would not be so
nice for writing rules (with any such system, probably).

Also, do you need to distribute your goodies in real time (so that a caller
is informed right away - marketing will love that for obvious reasons) or
can you do it after time 'Y'? The former is a little more intricate,
especially distributing on a fractional rate (and not by "every n-th").
