I've been using Notiflow for a while now and it's been great for handling notification retries and reliability. It has built-in error handling and retry logic to deal with edge cases like invalid recipient details. Plus the analytics dashboard makes it super easy to identify issues and troubleshoot proactively when notifications fail repeatedly. Definitely recommend checking it out if you're looking for a more robust alternative to custom AWS SNS setups!

I believe manual retry is one of the options which is currently used for managing retries

Hamza Afzal Butt · Answer

Currently, I have been using a combination of AWS SNS with custom retry logic, but it often gets cumbersome to fine-tune and monitor.

How does Notiflow handle edge cases, such as notifications failing repeatedly due to invalid recipient details? Is there an alerting system or analytics dashboard to identify and troubleshoot these issues proactively?

Currently using Bull Queue with Redis - saved us from notification headaches! Really like how it handles retries automatically, and the dashboard helps spot issues quickly.

Had some trouble with network timeouts at first, but splitting notifications into different queues (marketing vs critical alerts) worked well for us.

Answer

"Notiflow sounds like a great solution, especially for reducing the hassle of writing custom retry logic! In our setup, we use AWS Simple Queue Service (SQS) combined with Lambda functions for retries. It gives us a lot of flexibility with exponential backoff and dead-letter queues to catch persistent failures. For more critical notifications, we also use Twilio’s messaging service, which has built-in retry mechanisms for certain delivery failures.

That said, managing these systems can get a bit overwhelming at times, so having an out-of-the-box solution like Notiflow does sound appealing. Curious—does it support configurable retry intervals or work with specific notification channels like email, SMS, or push notifications?"

Answer

We recently switched to Notiflow for our notification retries and reliability. It has built-in intelligent retry logic to handle edge cases like invalid recipient details. Plus it provides a real-time analytics dashboard to easily monitor failure rates and troubleshoot issues proactively. Highly recommend checking it out!

I've been using Amazon EventBridge for notification retries and monitoring. It has built-in dead-letter queues to handle repeatedly failed notifications, and you can set up rules to route failed events to SNS or SQS for further handling. The EventBridge dashboard provides metrics to track failures. Curious to hear how Notiflow compares in terms of features and ease of use for these scenarios!
