## What it is
Gorush is a push notification micro server written in Go using the Gin framework. It exposes a REST API and CLI for sending notifications to iOS (APNs), Android (FCM/GCM), and Huawei devices, deployable as a binary or Docker container.

## Use cases
- send push notifications to ios and android devices from my backend
- self-hosted push notification server with rest api
- send apns notifications without writing ios code
- deliver fcm push notifications via http api
- centralized notification microservice for mobile apps
- send push notifications from the command line

## When to choose
- you need a standalone, self-hosted push notification gateway supporting APNs, FCM, and Huawei
- you want to decouple notification sending from your application via a simple REST API
- you need queue-backed, high-throughput notification delivery with statistics

## When to avoid
- you only need push notifications inside a single-platform app and prefer native SDKs directly
- you need email, SMS, or multi-channel notifications rather than mobile push
- you want a managed SaaS notification service with dashboards
