Practical task: Unified Notification Platform Context There are 3 separate systems in the company that send notifications to users: 1. CRM — sends emails and push notifications about orders. 2. Support Portal — sends messages about tickets to a Telegram bot. 3. Security System — generates SMS alerts about suspicious logins. Each system implements its logic: * own templates, hardcoded recipients; * no centralized notification history; * users complain about duplicates and delays; * no unified SLA, metrics, or control center. Goal Design a new Notification Platform that: * aggregates events from different sources (CRM, Support, Security); * routes them by type and channel (email, SMS, Telegram, push); * ensures uniform templates, logging, and observability, * supports SLA (p95 ≤ 3 sec for delivery), * allows scaling and expanding channels in the future. Candidate task 1. Define functional requirements. 2. Describe non-functional requirements (reliability, performance, error handling). 3. Create a context diagram (C4 Level 2). 4. Add a sequence diagram. For example, sending a message from CRM.
