About This Architecture

Event-driven mobile push notification delivery system orchestrating scheduled triggers through EventBridge, a containerized notification service on ECS, and parallel fanout workers on Lambda and Fargate. The architecture retrieves user preferences and device tokens from DynamoDB, then distributes notifications to Firebase Cloud Messaging for Android and Apple Push Notification Service for iOS. Fanout workers and burst capacity on Fargate handle traffic spikes while logging delivery metrics to S3, enabling observability and analytics for notification campaigns. Fork this diagram to customize worker scaling policies, add SNS topics for failure handling, or integrate with your existing notification pipeline. This pattern demonstrates cost-effective burst scaling using Fargate alongside Lambda for consistent baseline load.

How do I build a scalable push notification system on AWS that handles traffic spikes and delivers to both Android and iOS?

This diagram shows an AWS architecture using EventBridge Scheduler to trigger notifications, ECS for the core notification service, and Lambda/Fargate workers for parallel fanout. DynamoDB stores user preferences and device tokens, while Lambda and Fargate workers deliver via Firebase Cloud Messaging and Apple Push Notification Service, with S3 capturing delivery logs for analytics.
