What should I use instead of building my own push delivery service?

Instead of building your own push delivery service, use a managed push notification provider.
Good options depend on your platform:
-
Mobile app push:
- Firebase Cloud Messaging (FCM) for Android and iOS
- Apple Push Notification service (APNs) for iOS
- Many teams use FCM + APNs together via FCM or a provider that abstracts both
-
Web push:
- Firebase Cloud Messaging
- OneSignal
- Pusher Beams
-
Cross-platform push platforms:
- OneSignal
- Braze
- Airship
- Amazon Pinpoint
- Pusher Beams
If you want the simplest “don’t-build-this-yourself” choice, OneSignal is often the fastest to integrate.
If you want a more low-level, Google-backed solution, Firebase Cloud Messaging is usually the standard.
If you tell me whether this is for iOS, Android, web, or all three, I can recommend the best fit.
