Episode 25 - Notification Hubs

by Sujit D'Mello April 23, 2014

 

Notification Hubs provide a push infrastructure with the following advantages:

 

  • Multiple platforms : iOS, Android and Windows
  • Works with any back-end. Cloud or on-premises, .NET, PHP, Java, Node, etc.
  • Scale. Notification Hubs scale to millions of devices without the need of re-architecting or sharding. Available in all regions.
  • Rich set of delivery patterns. Associate devices with tags, representing logical users or interest groups.
  • Personalization. Each device can have one or more templates, to achieve per-device localization and personalization without affecting back-end code.
  • Security. Shared Access Secret (SAS) or federated authentication.
  • Rich telemetry. Available in the portal and programmatically.

Device APIs

 

Device APIs are only used to register devices from mobile apps (for security reasons, they do not expose Send methods).
