Notification Engine

Project Overview Notification Engine would be component to be used in our Microservice based Application, the other components in the Architecture include Business Applications for our Partners and Customers which will be agnostic of Notification Engine and would share the required data in the agreed format over a Message Queue. The Notification Engine should be to send out mails, text messages and Push Notification across platforms (Mobile and Web). It should also contain a Notification Centre which would contain the notifications send and also tracking of the notifications sent. Requirements and Tasks • Set up the environment • Building a library for sending notifications(Mail, SMS, Push Notification in Mobile and Web) • Building a library for accepting details from other applications. • Building queue management using Kafka for handling the notifications pushed by other applications. • The libraries accept a notification data and write it to the queue. Another process reads from this queue and sends the desired notification. • Different queues need to be maintained for each type of notification (Mail, SMS etc). • Each queue should be processes simultaneously i.e. a SMS notification and a mail notification works in parallel. • Logging at various levels for each operation that is attempted • A Notification Centre for managing all the notifications, tracking their status and re-sending them if needed. Additional Requirements • All the UI components should be independent of the backend and should interact using REST APIs • All the code should be documented and easy to maintain • Include Unit Test cases • Language: Python 3.6 • Framework: Django (or if anything else is better fit for the cause) • WebServer: Nginx (or if anything else is better fit for the cause) • Database: NoSQL • Source Control: Git • All the applications should scale with the load
