Architecture & Interfaces
Mattermost Development & Integration
Mattermost follows a consistent API-first approach. Every action you perform in the UI runs through the same API we use. This makes integrations predictable and stable.
REST API v4 & Drivers
Mattermost offers one of the most comprehensive APIs in the open-source space. We use the official Go and JavaScript drivers for seamless integrations - automatic channel creation from your CRM, user management via LDAP sync, or bidirectional data synchronization with your ERP.
Webhooks & Slash Commands
For quick integrations, we use incoming/outgoing webhooks. Messages from monitoring tools (Prometheus, Grafana) land directly in channels. Actions like server restarts or deployments can be triggered via slash commands (/deploy production) directly from chat.
Plugin Architecture (Go & React)
When webhooks aren't enough, we develop native plugins. These run directly on the server (Go backend) and in the client (React frontend). This allows us to modify the UI, add buttons to the message bar, or implement deep logic with database access.
Concrete Use Cases
How we implement Mattermost development in practice.
ChatOps Automation
Problem
DevOps teams need to switch between terminal and chat for routine tasks. Checking server status, triggering deployments, or retrieving logs requires context switching.
Solution
We develop slash commands and bots that work directly in chat. /deploy production rolls out, /status shows server metrics, /logs api-server streams the latest entries. All without leaving chat.
CRM Bridge & Sales Alerts
Problem
Sales reps maintain data twice - in CRM and team chat. Updates on deals, contacts, or tasks get lost.
Solution
Middleware synchronizes your CRM (HubSpot, Salesforce, Twenty) with Mattermost. On contract close, a bot automatically posts to the sales channel. Contact cards can be retrieved via /contact [name].
Incident Response Bot
Problem
Alerts from monitoring systems (Prometheus, Grafana, Wazuh) end up in emails or separate dashboards. Response time suffers.
Solution
An incident bot receives alerts via webhook, automatically creates a dedicated channel, invites relevant team members, and posts context (logs, metrics). Playbooks are started automatically.
Sizing and deployment
Size Mattermost by active users and message load
Active users, messages, uploads, search, integrations and calls shape the platform more than the number of registered accounts.
Starting-point guidance
| Usage scenario | Technical starting point | Key factors |
|---|---|---|
| Small team using channels and files | S or M | Storage growth and active users are monitored and scaled when required. |
| Multiple teams and many integrations | M or L plus storage | Bots, webhooks, search and file uploads are included in sizing. |
| Calls, high message load or long history | Custom architecture | Supporting services, search, database and storage are assessed separately. |
| Business-critical or highly available platform | Custom architecture | Clustering, database, storage, push and recovery require an aligned target design. |
The calculator models a standard workload without a separate vendor licence. Calls, Enterprise features and HA are scoped individually.
Deployment aligned with communication and compliance
Mattermost can run on WZ-IT infrastructure, in your cloud, on-premises or integrated with internal systems. Edition and vendor licence are scoped separately.
WZ-IT managed hosting
Operations on European infrastructure with compute, storage, backup and a selectable service level.
Your cloud account
Operations in your cloud with existing network, security and identity services.
On-premises
Integration with your virtualisation, data centre and internal operations processes.
Hybrid integration
Mattermost is connected to Git, monitoring, ticketing, SSO and secure remote access.
Target architecture
Connect Mattermost to identity, DevOps and operations
The communications platform becomes part of your operations. Access, integrations, data paths and emergency processes are therefore designed together.
Teams and endpoints
Browsers, desktop and mobile clients plus internal and external users.
Secure access
TLS, reverse proxy, network rules and optional private access through NetBird or VPN.
SSO and provisioning
Local accounts or connected identity providers with agreed roles and groups.
Mattermost platform
Channels, messages, playbooks and integrations on a controlled runtime.
Database and search
PostgreSQL, retention, indices and, at scale, a separate search architecture.
Files, push and backup
Upload storage, mobile notifications and consistent offsite backups.
Bots and business systems
Git, CI/CD, monitoring, ticketing, webhooks and custom ChatOps integrations.
Available SSO, compliance, clustering and retention features depend on the selected Mattermost edition and vendor licence.
Questions about Mattermost managed hosting
Answers about editions, migration, integration and operations.
No. The displayed price describes WZ-IT infrastructure and operations. If required features need a paid Mattermost edition, the vendor licence is quoted separately.
Yes, after assessing available exports, users, files, integrations and the target edition. We plan a test migration, cutover and fallback.
We support technical integration with existing identity providers. The available method and provisioning features depend on the selected Mattermost edition and are checked in advance.
Not by default. Calls create a separate load and network profile. We size and price the required components from concurrent participants and the target topology.
Yes. Application, database, storage, proxy, search and, where relevant, Calls and push need to be designed together. Vendor features and licences are included in the assessment.
Yes. We integrate webhooks and existing tools or develop bots, plugins and middleware for DevOps, incident and business processes.
Depending on the setup, we back up database, file storage and configuration consistently. Retention and recovery objectives are agreed; isolated backup files alone are not a complete restore plan.
Yes. We support roles, teams, channels, permissions and the technical rollout. Training and change-management services are agreed according to the project scope.
Yes. Critical changes can use a separate staging environment with a defined approval and rollback process. Whether this needs additional workloads depends on the architecture and data volume.
We review release notes, edition and extensions, protect the relevant data and perform updates in agreed maintenance windows. Major upgrades can be tested in staging first.
Typical signals include availability, resources, database, file storage, queues, search components and backup jobs. Monitoring and retention are limited so message content is not collected unnecessarily.
We integrate official clients, push services and available MFA or SSO methods. Which functions work without external services or extra licences is checked for the selected edition.
Mattermost is a self-hostable communications platform with channels, direct messages, files and integrations. Community and paid editions differ for some identity, compliance and clustering functions; we verify the required edition before planning.
It can run on WZ-IT infrastructure, in your cloud account, on premises or in a hybrid setup with internal services. Network, data location, access paths and operating responsibilities are defined in the target design.
For new production environments we design the database supported by the selected Mattermost version together with file or object storage, search and backups. Existing MySQL installations are assessed separately before takeover.
The agreed scope can include provisioning, baseline hardening, monitoring, backups, updates, incident handling and planned scaling. The service description and selected service level are binding, not the label by itself.
Active users, message load, uploads, search, integrations, Calls, retention and availability targets determine compute, database, storage and whether a distributed architecture is needed.
We design separated roles, MFA or SSO, private administration paths, logging and break-glass procedures. The implementation depends on edition, identity provider and the existing network architecture.
Audit, export and retention functions partly depend on the selected edition. We configure technically available controls; the customer defines legal retention and deletion rules and the permissibility of content.
Yes. We integrate available Playbooks, incoming and outgoing webhooks, slash commands and Git, CI/CD, monitoring or ticket systems. Availability and licence requirements are checked for each integration.

“I recently worked with Timo and the WZ-IT team, and honestly, it turned out to be one of the best tech decisions I have made for my business. Right from the start, Timo took the time to walk me through every step in a simple and calm way. No matter how many questions I had, he never rushed me. The results speak for themselves. With WZ-IT, we reduced our monthly expenses from $1,300 down to $250. This was a huge win for us.”

GermanyProxmox & VirtualizationBackupVPNSecurity
“WZ-IT provided very competent support in implementing our server and virtualization infrastructure. As part of the project, a Proxmox-based virtualization environment was set up along with a virtual machine for our application systems. Additionally, a structured backup concept was implemented. A particular focus was on security: the setup of a VPN tunnel and the clean implementation of encryption and access concepts were professionally executed. The structured consulting as well as the reliable and swift implementation deserve special mention. We are very satisfied with the services provided and are happy to recommend WZ-IT.”

“We have had very good experiences with Mr. Wevelsiep and WZ-IT. The consultation was professional, clearly understandable, and at fair prices. The team not only implemented our requirements but also thought along and proactively. Instead of just processing individual tasks, they provided us with well-founded explanations that strengthened our own understanding. WZ-IT took a lot of pressure off us with their structured approach - that was exactly what we needed and is the reason why we keep coming back. (translated)”

“Timo and Robin from WZ-IT set up a RocketChat server for us - and I couldn't be more satisfied! From the initial consultation to the final implementation, everything was absolutely professional, efficient, and to my complete satisfaction. I particularly appreciate the clear communication, transparent pricing, and the comprehensive expertise that both bring to the table. Even after the setup, they take care of the maintenance, which frees up my time enormously and allows me to focus on other important areas of my business - with the good feeling that our IT is in the best hands. I can recommend WZ-IT without reservation and look forward to continuing our collaboration! (translated)”
