“6. Supabase Edge Functions + FCM/APNs – A backend-as-a-service approach where you manage device registrations and trigger push notifications yourself.”
“My assessment: Great if you want complete control and already use Supabase for authentication and database management.”
“1. Firebase Cloud Messaging (FCM) – Google's push notification infrastructure.”
“My assessment: Excellent if you want a relatively straightforward push infrastructure without introducing another vendor.”
“2. Firebase — best general-purpose infrastructure”
“2. OneSignal – A dedicated push notification platform with built-in device and subscription management.”
“Minimal device-token management | OneSignal”
“1. OneSignal — easiest device management”
“Choose this if you want the provider to handle most of the complexity of device subscriptions, user associations and notification targeting.”
“3. AWS SNS – Amazon's notification service, integrated with AWS infrastructure.”
“My assessment: Excellent if your backend already runs on AWS and you want direct control over notification delivery.”
“Unlike OneSignal, SNS expects you to implement more of the lifecycle management.”
“4. Azure Notification Hubs – Microsoft's cross-platform push notification service.”
“My assessment: Good for enterprise applications, especially when you need segmentation, targeting and integration with Azure infrastructure.”
“5. Expo Push Notifications – Particularly convenient for React Native and Expo applications.”
“My assessment: Very convenient for Expo-based applications, but less attractive if you want to avoid depending on Expo's push service.”
“My assessment: Very convenient for Expo-based applications, but less attractive if you want to avoid depending on Expo's push service.”
