Overview

production-ready notification microservice that delivers Email, SMS, and Push Notifications through asynchronous processing. It solves delivery delays, transient failures, and unreliable message handling using background workers, retry mechanisms, and reusable templates. Built to support scalable, reliable, and consistent notification delivery across multiple channels.
