Notification systems are a critical infrastructure component for modern applications. Whether it is an OTP SMS, an order confirmation email, a push notification for a social update, or an internal system alert, notifications form the bridge between backend systems and end users. At small scale, sending notifications may appear trivial. However, at scale—where millions of […]

As systems grow and move toward microservices, direct synchronous communication becomes a bottleneck.Event-driven architecture (EDA) helps systems scale by allowing services to communicate asynchronously using events and messages. In this blog, we’ll cover event-driven architecture, message queues vs event streams, and when to use each. Synchronous vs Asynchronous Communication Synchronous Communication Example:Service A calls Service

Choosing the right architecture is one of the most important decisions in system design.Two common approaches are monolithic architecture and microservices architecture. Each has its strengths, weaknesses, and ideal use cases. In this blog, we’ll clearly compare monoliths vs microservices, explain trade-offs, and help you decide when to use each. What Is a Monolithic Architecture?
