Novu: One API for Every Notification Channel Your Product Needs
Open-source comms infrastructure that lets you send email, SMS, push, and in-app notifications through a single integration. Wire it once, switch providers later without rewriting.
novuhq/novu ↗Most products need to ping users across multiple channels: email when something important happens, SMS for time-sensitive alerts, push notifications on mobile, maybe in-app toasts too. Normally you'd integrate with three or four separate services and maintain that spaghetti. Novu is a single API layer that sits between your product and all those channels. You write one notification handler. Novu routes it to email, SMS, push, or in-app depending on what you've configured. The open-source angle matters: you're not locked into their cloud. Self-host it, own your notification logic, and if you ever need to swap email providers, you change one config line instead of rearchitecting.
Real value: saves weeks of integration work and lets you add channels without touching code.

Novu: Notifications through one API, not four vendor contracts
Open-source communication layer for products. Wire email, SMS, push, and in-app notifications with a single integration. Self-host if you want, or use their cloud. No lock-in. Saves the integration tax most products pay early. Worth testing if you're shipping a feature that needs to reach users across channels.
Most product teams build notification infrastructure twice: once for the happy path, again when they realize they're locked into a vendor's pricing. Novu is the open-source middle layer. One API, all channels (email, SMS, push, in-app), self-hostable, swappable providers. The unglamorous infrastructure that actually saves shipping time.
Notification infrastructure doesn't need to be complicated or vendor-dependent. Novu gives product teams an open-source communication layer: one API for email, SMS, push, and in-app notifications. Self-host it, control your data, and swap providers without rewriting integrations. The kind of infrastructure choice that pays dividends at scale.
Just integrated Novu into a product stack and realized we'd been building notification plumbing from scratch for months. One API. Email, SMS, push, in-app. No vendor lock-in. Open source means you own the layer that touches your users every day. That's the move.
spent way too long wiring email providers, SMS gateways, push services separately. novu is the unified layer builders actually need. open source, one API surface, your infrastructure stays yours. github.com/novuhq/novu
