For developers

Using Notika means that you don’t need to write a single line of code to add transactional notifications into your app. In fact, since Notika is an end-to-end solution, you can even hand off notifications entirely to your non-coding colleagues like product managers and marketing teams.

We handle the infrastructure, scaling, delivery, and monitoring of your notifications so you can focus on building your product.

Notifications quickly grow in complexity

Advantages of leveraging Notika

We scale your notifications for you. When you use Notika, you inherit a durable, distributed architecture and a dedicated team to keep your notifications running. Some benefits include:

• Retry logic. For temporary failures like network issues, we retry steps with exponential back-off.
• Scheduling. We provision all the infrastructure needed to run and schedule your workflows. No more cron jobs.
• Rate limiting. In case of bursty traffic, your infrastructure (like your database) won’t be overwhelmed.
• Fan-out. For example, if an event requires notifying thousands of users, we optimize and parallelize.
• Analytics tracking. Engagement is automatically logged, and if desired, you can receive events directly to into your database, no need to configure a separate API webhook.
• Multi-channel delivery.

How to ensure database schema changes don’t break notifications

There are several strategies you can use to ensure that schema changes, such as renaming or dropping columns, don’t impact published workflows. For more details, visit the Postgres Configuration section.
