SAN MATEO, Calif., Nov. 15, 2018 /PRNewswire/ -- OneSignal, a
leading customer engagement platform, set a new throughput record
with their push notification service, delivering 850,000+
notifications per second - more than twice the competition.
OneSignal sends 4 billion push notifications per day, up
25% since September. OneSignal is used by 550,000+ developers
and marketing teams including many Fortune 500 companies.
On election day, push notifications played a critical role in
determining where Americans got their news. A Neiman study showed
that users who receive notifications are twice as engaged as
compared to a control group.
Top news sites began adopting push notifications when Apple
introduced them in 2009. Today, over half of U.S. smartphone
users get news via push notifications.
OneSignal powers notifications for top news outlets in the U.S.
and internationally. Over 150 million people get their news
via OneSignal's push notifications.
"News outlets require speed and reliability to deliver 'Breaking
News,'" explained OneSignal's CRO, Josh
Wetzel. "The leaders in news are finding the best option is
OneSignal."

database servers leverage NVMe SSDs, which provide read speeds of

delivery stack is written in Rust, a blazingly fast systems
