About Novu
Novu is an open-source notification platform designed for developers and product teams to create multi-channel notifications for web and mobile applications. It offers powerful workflows, seamless integrations, and a flexible API-first approach to manage notifications without disrupting production.
Novu is an open-source notification infrastructure that empowers developers and product teams to build robust, multi-channel notification systems. It simplifies the complexities of delivering notifications across various channels, such as email, SMS, in-app, chat, and push notifications, into a single, unified platform.
Key features include a built-in
Novu is designed to scale from simple setups to complex, code-driven notification systems. It supports features like delay windows, digest windows, and throttling to manage notification delivery effectively. Role-Based Access Control (RBAC) and audit logs enhance security and administration. Data residency options are available, including US, EU, Singapore, UK, Australia, Japan, and South Korea.
Targeted towards developers and product teams, Novu aims to streamline the notification process, allowing them to focus on building core product features. It is particularly well-suited for companies that require a customizable, scalable, and open-source notification solution. Novu's architecture allows for both cloud-based and self-hosted deployments, catering to different compliance and infrastructure needs.
