How do you tackle such problems?

It will be helpful if Kafka can come up with a pluggable system for storing configurations instead of Zookeeper. In that case problems such as the one you faced could be solved.

Got it now! But why was there a need of message decorator? The same task could have been achieved using the Channel Class.

This is really helpful. I might even use this in my next product.

One question though, I don't see a 'type' field in Notification class. Won't it be helpful if notification type can be saved to identify if the notification was an email notification or push notification and so on?

Indian software industry has changed drastically in past 5 years. People are building good software products in India specially people just coming out of colleges. But the biggest problem that I have seen is that people generally don't get good beta testers who are interested in improving the product. And it's not just about beta testers, users of an enterprise saas are also limited.

In such a scenario there is a disconnect between the creator and users. Only if NotCrud can get both these communities together, I think it can gain much attention. And not just attention it will be able to create a credible platform, just like HN and not HackerStreet, which will be used by both Users and Creators. Because showing off is not enough. In the end you want to improve your product.

Btw notCrud is a very good initiative. I am glad you are taking it.
