How would you design a scalable notification system (email/SMS/push) in Java?
Updated May 6, 2026
Short answer
A notification system uses event-driven architecture with queues, worker services, and provider adapters.
Deep explanation
Events are published to Kafka. Notification service consumes events and routes them to channel-specific processors (email, SMS, push). Retry queues and dead-letter queues handle failures. Template engine generates dynamic messages.
