Context

Research the Notifications Service to understand available integration options for SWATCH utilization notifications. This is pure research — no working code is required.

SWATCH must notify customers when subscription utilization exceeds thresholds. Before any POC, we need clarity on endpoints, authentication, payloads, and integration patterns.

Out of Scope

• Writing or deploying code
• Building a POC
• Implementing notification logic in SWATCH

Done

• Google Doc with details about:
  • Identify API endpoints (REST vs Kafka)
  • Document authentication mechanisms (stage/prod)
  • Auth setup steps clarified
  • Describe payload format and schema requirements
  • Identify notification types (email, in-app, etc.)
  • Document rate limiting + error handling patterns
  • Research local dev/test options
  • Error response formats described
  • Environment differences (local/stage/prod) captured
