Notification Microservice

Introduction

This project is a highly scalable micro-service to handle all the notifications (Email/SMS/WhatsApp) that you would require to schedule for contact from your small-business. It uses Amazon's SQS queuing service, SendGrid's email API and Twilio WhatsApp and SMS API to schedule notifications. Support would be added for other service-providers as the project evolves.
