Pushd is a self-hosted unified push notification server that lets backend applications send notifications to mobile and web clients across multiple protocols (APNs, GCM/C2DM, MPNS, WNS, HTTP, EventSource) from a single API. It manages device subscriptions to events with a Redis backend and supports pluggable custom protocols.
Use cases
- send push notifications to ios and android apps from one server
- unified push notification service for multiple mobile platforms
- notify mobile devices when events happen on my backend
- broadcast notifications to all subscribed devices
- self-hosted alternative to push notification services
- subscribe devices to events and deliver via apns or gcm
When to choose
- you need to fan out notifications to devices across iOS, Android, and Windows platforms through one entry point
- you want a self-hosted push server with pluggable protocols and Redis-backed subscription management
- you need event-based subscription semantics with badges, templates, and broadcast support
When to avoid
- you only target modern Firebase Cloud Messaging or a single platform and prefer an official SDK
- you need actively maintained software - the latest release dates to 2020 and protocols like C2DM are deprecated
- you want a managed SaaS push service without operating your own Redis and Node.js infrastructure
