Wire is an open-source, end-to-end encrypted messaging and collaboration platform whose server components are written primarily in Haskell. The wire-server repository contains the backend services (accounts, conversations, push notifications, asset storage, SSO) needed to self-host the full Wire messenger for web, desktop, and mobile clients.

Use cases

  • self-host a secure end-to-end encrypted messenger for my organization
  • run a private team chat server with SSO and SCIM user management
  • deploy an encrypted messaging backend on Kubernetes with Helm charts
  • host a messaging platform for government or regulated industries with data sovereignty
  • set up push notification and WebSocket services for a chat app
  • provide secure file sharing and conferencing backend for enterprise teams

When to choose

  • you need full control over your messaging infrastructure with on-premises or self-hosted deployment
  • compliance requirements (HIPAA, government, critical infrastructure) demand data sovereignty and auditable open-source code
  • you need enterprise features like SAML SSO, SCIM provisioning, and MLS end-to-end encryption at scale
  • you want a European-built messaging platform with a mature multi-service architecture

When to avoid

  • you just want a simple chat app for a small team without server operations expertise
  • you lack experience running Haskell services and Kubernetes clusters
  • you need lightweight single-binary deployment rather than a multi-service microservice stack
  • you primarily need consumer-style federation with other messengers, which is still on the roadmap
