自 2016 年开源以来，Mattermost 一直在开发一个具有不断增加的用例的消息传递平台。6 月 16 日，Mattermost 7.0 平台发布，其中包括了新的语音呼叫、工作流模板和用于开源技术的应用框架。新版本扩展了 2021 年 10 月发布的 6.0 版本引入的功能。一直以来，Mattermost 都在与包括 Slack、Atlassian 和 Asana 在内的几家大公司，竞争不断增长的协作工具市场。另一方面，Mattermost 侧重于对开发者的支持，尽管该平台也可用于安全和 IT 运营。


Mattermost 的软件同时提供有商业版和开源版，目前它们都升级到了 7.0 版。Tien 解释说，Mattermost 的商业平台是建立在开源基础上的。在开放核心模型中，开源版作为软件的基础或核心，专有的企业功能则内置于商业版中。合规性、规模性和高级配置是 Mattermost 的关键企业功能。Tien 声称，开源版本对于中小型团队来说已经足够了。他认为，拥有 500 名或更多用户的团队才需要考虑使用商业版。


Tien 认为开源也关乎社区贡献。Mattermost 开源项目有超过 4000 名个人贡献者，他们贡献了超过 30000 行代码。


以前，Mattermost 依赖集成第三方呼叫服务（例如 Zoom）来启用语音呼叫功能。在 7.0 版本中，它通过开源 WebRTC 协议引入了呼叫功能的直接集成，所有现代 Web 浏览器都支持该协议。直接集成呼叫功能的目标是为协作提供单一平台，这符合 Tien 对该平台的总体愿景。现在，除了提供集成工具以实现协作之外，该平台还会增加“工作流模板”功能，以帮助（用户）组织构建可重复的流程。


工作流概念采用了 <ruby> 剧本 <rt>  playbook </rt></ruby>，其中包含了为“特定类型的操作”所执行的动作和操作的清单。例如，在发生服务故障或网络安全事件时，公司可以为事件响应创建工作流模板。


这个清单可以链接到 Mattermost <ruby> 操作 <rt>  operation </rt></ruby>，例如让特定用户发起呼叫，并协助生成报告。Tien 表示，Mattermost 还与常见的开发者工具集成，并且工作流模板的功能将随着时间的推移而扩展，以便使用第三方工具来实现更多自动化。

Mattermost has been developing a messaging platform with a growing number of use cases since it began as an open source project in 2016. The company today announced the Mattermost 7.0 platform, which includes new voice calls, workflow templates, and an application framework for open-source technology. The new release expands on capabilities introduced with the 6.0 update in October 2021. Mattermost competes for a piece of the growing market for collaboration tools with several large companies, including Slack, Atlassian, and Asana. Mattermost, on the other hand, focuses on developer enablement, though the platform can also be used for security and IT operations.

Mattermost’s software is available in both commercial and open source versions, and both are now at version 7. Tien explained that Mattermost’s commercial platform is built on an open-source foundation. In the open-core model, open source software serves as the foundation, or core, while proprietary enterprise features are built into a commercial version. Compliance, scale, and advanced configuration are key enterprise features for Mattermost. Tien claims that the open source version is more than capable for small and mid-sized teams. He anticipates that organisations will need to consider the commercial release for teams of 500 or more users.

Tien believes that open source is also about community contributions. The Mattermost open source project has over 4,000 individual contributors who have contributed over 30,000 lines of code. Mattermost previously relied on integration with third-party call services, such as Zoom, to enable voice call functionality.

Mattermost 7.0 introduces direct integration of calling functionality via the open source WebRTC protocol, which is supported by all modern web browsers. The goal of directly integrating call functionality is to provide a single platform for collaboration, which is in line with Tien’s overall vision for Mattermost. Mattermost is now adding workflow templates to help organisations build repeatable processes, in addition to providing integrated tools to enable collaboration.

The workflow concept employs playbooks, which contain a list of actions and operations to perform for a specific type of operation. For example, a company can create a workflow template for incident response in the event of a service failure or a cybersecurity incident.

The checklist can be linked to Mattermost operations such as bringing specific users into a call and assisting with report generation. Tien stated that Mattermost also integrates with common developer tools, and that the capability of the workflow templates will expand over time to enable more automation with third-party tools.
