instant-messaging 0.1.0

Developer-first messaging infrastructure toolkit for SMS, WhatsApp, Telegram, and future channels.

Instant

Instant is a developer-first messaging infrastructure toolkit for connecting backend applications to SMS, WhatsApp, Telegram, and future communication channels through one simple SDK and CLI.

The product rule is:

Simple by default. Deep when needed.

Instant is built around a Rust core engine, a Python SDK first, provider adapters, a CLI, local sandbox providers, and optional production runtime profiles for teams that need queues, workers, observability, and scale.

What Instant Does

• Sends and receives messages across supported channels.
• Normalizes provider-specific APIs into one developer-facing contract.
• Lets developers configure providers through one file and environment variables.
• Supports local sandbox testing before real provider credentials are used.
• Starts with East Africa-focused providers and expands cleanly.

Open Source

Instant is released under the MIT License.
