1 post · Dec 2022

What this trail covers

Vercel's notification system, powered by Knock, now provides real-time, per-user in-app feeds, customizable multi-channel notifications (email, in-app), and batching for noisy events like domain misconfigurations. The system is observable through the Knock dashboard, enabling debugging and performance evaluation. New notification types include deployment failures and batched domain misconfiguration notifications. The platform supports dynamic updates to notification preferences without redeploying infrastructure.
