  • django-notifications

    GitHub notifications alike app for Django

  • My team and I have just put dozens of man hours into building a notifications Django app for our Django project. It consists of a Notification model (heavily inspired by this https://github.com/django-notifications/django-notifications) and we've added ways to send notifications, manage which models & which events create notifications and ways for users to manage their preferences.

  • django-q

    A multiprocessing distributed task queue for Django

  • If you want a "simple" solution for sending email, the simplest that will likely last you the longest is using DjangoQ to create a background task that looks for model records that have not been emailed. Then use Sendgrid with an email backend to send them. You can use a library that already provides a Sendgrid email backend as well.

  • WorkOS

    The modern identity platform for B2B SaaS. The APIs are flexible and easy-to-use, supporting authentication, user identity, and complex enterprise features like SSO and SCIM provisioning.

  • cookiecutter-django

    Cookiecutter Django is a framework for jumpstarting production-ready Django projects quickly.

  • the problem is that "email notification" is not something that you can easily implement as a builtin feature since you need an external service, however in my project I used multiple time email notifications without problems: have you tried to look at how for example cookiecutter django is using Anymail?

  • InfluxDB

    Power Real-Time Data Analytics at Scale. Get real-time insights from all types of time series data with InfluxDB. Ingest, query, and analyze billions of data points in real-time with unbounded cardinality.
