Can Novu handle sending notifications to 500k or 700k users at once?
@starwiz_7 asked over the #đŸª„â”‚engineeringchannel the following:
"How will it handle if we want to basically have a burst of notifications say 500k or 700k users must receive notification (via in-app). How will Novu do this?"

My apologies, it was a long day yesterday.
I will have an answer by the end of today.
Yes, So in this case, we would recommend using the bulk trigger endpoint to batch up 100 triggers at a time from a single system otherwise https://api.novu.co/api#/Events/EventsController_triggerBulkEvents
Or if it is from multiple services you can use the standard endpoint https://api.novu.co/api#/Events/EventsController_trackEvent
When you make a request we process the job and send it to a queue to then be processed by a fleet of workers.
We are working on making this resilient this month and should be even faster soon đŸ™‚

If your asking if on-prem can handle this, the answer is yes, however you need to make sure that each part of the system can autoscale.
Let me know if there is any part that you would like me to explain more!
