Challenges I ran into

Implementing a robust and efficient notification system while avoiding unnecessary delays.
Balancing the need for instant alerts with potential impacts on the website's responsiveness.
Resolution:
Optimized Backend Processes:
Conducted a thorough review of backend processes handling data retrieval and notification triggers.
