Building a high-performance notification system requires a unified system that can handle large volume message requests while ensuring system stability.
The notification system consists of several layers, including the configuration layer, interface layer, core service layer, common component layer, and storage layer.
The initial message sending design employs RPC service requests and MQ message consumption to handle message-sending requests, with idempotency designs implemented to prevent processing duplicate message content.
For message-failing due to bottlenecks or errors, messages are retried via distributed task scheduling frameworks, utilizing lock control that prevents duplicate processing across nodes.
Stability assurance of the notification system is done through two-layer degradation approaches that handle traffic spikes, resource isolation for problematic services, and third-party service protection.
Fault tolerance for middleware is essential to ensure service continuity while a robust monitoring system should be established to detect and mitigate issues before they escalate.
Active-active deployment across multiple data centers ensures service availability while elastic scaling, based on comprehensive service metrics, accommodates traffic variations while optimizing costs.
System design must address service architecture, functionality, and stability assurance comprehensively be tailored to specific business needs through thoughtful planning and iteration.
