How We Manage a Million Push Notifications an Hour

No offence but is this correct?

> We recently hit a peak of 850 Million notifications per second

per second?

From your blog "OnePush is fast - We've observed sustained deliveries up to 125,000/second and spikes up to 175,000/second."

I think you may have a typo. The bandwidth would be incredible too, if it were an unlikely 10 bytes per delivery that would be 8.5 GB/Sec.

This post is now a couple years old, so we've grown a lot since then. Here's a newer (more marketing-centric) post where we announced our 850k/second milestone: https://onesignal.com/blog/throughput-record/

It's generally under 4 bytes per delivery, depending on the content, and we have several delivery servers. APNS, for example, doesn't support payloads larger than 4 bytes.

I think you mean 4kb rather than 4 bytes

Oops, you're right. There is a typo. It should say "850,000/second"
