Multi-Channel Notification Dispatcher (Telegram, WebPush), Hybrid Valkey ZSET Timing Wheel Scheduler, and Ops Alert Bridge (Discord, Slack).

@kido/notify

Architecture Paradigm: Multi-Channel Dispatcher + Single-Timeout Valkey ZSET Timing Wheel Scheduler + Cross-Platform Ops Alert Bridge (Telegram, Discord, Slack).


💥 The Real-World Bottleneck

Notification systems and scheduled operational alerts are prone to hidden runtime failures:

  1. Node.js 32-Bit Timer Overflow (MAX_TIMEOUT_MS): In JavaScript runtimes, setTimeout uses a signed 32-bit integer for delay milliseconds. The maximum delay is \2^31 - 1 = 2,147,483,647 ms (approximately 24.8 days). Scheduling a reminder beyond 24.8 days causes integer overflow, firing the timer immediately!
  2. Container Restart Job Amnesia: In-memory cron or timer libraries (node-cron, node-schedule) lose all pending jobs when a container restarts or deploys a new version. Scheduled appointment reminders, pickup notifications, and trial expiration warnings vanish without a trace.
  3. DevOps & Operations Alert Fatigue: Sentry, Prometheus, Cloudflare, and GitHub Actions blast disconnected webhook formats to disparate channels. Without an intelligent alert transformer that dedupes, normalizes, and routes alerts based on severity, teams mute channels and miss critical P0 outages.

Core APIs

1. Hybrid Timing Wheel Scheduler (scheduler.ts)

  • HybridNotificationScheduler: Solves the 24.8-day 32-bit overflow by maintaining a persistent Sorted Set (ZSET) where score = scheduledAtMs. The runtime sets exactly one physical timeout for the nearest job, avoiding thousands of sleeping timer threads.
  • createValkeyZSetAdapter(redisClient): Adapter connecting Valkey / Redis cluster as the persistent timer store.
  • InMemoryZSetStore: Zero-dependency in-memory fallback for local development and unit tests.

2. Native Multi-Channel Dispatchers (telegram.ts, webpush.ts)

  • TelegramNotifier: Sends MarkdownV2 and HTML formatted messages with automatic chunking (4,096 char limit) and silent notifications.
  • WebPushNotifier: Dispatches standard Web Push notifications with VAPID authentication and TTL encryption.

3. Ops Alert Bridge (ops-alert-bridge/)

  • AlertTransformer: Normalizes incoming alert payloads from Prometheus, Grafana, Sentry, or custom microservices into a unified alert schema.
  • TelegramChannel, DiscordChannel, SlackChannel: Formats and fans out alerts to team communication channels with color-coded severity badges.

💻 Production Implementation & Code Snippet

The following complete snippet shows scheduling a delayed notification, formatting a rich order summary for Telegram, and dispatching a critical ops alert across Discord and Telegram:

import {
  HybridNotificationScheduler,
  InMemoryZSetStore,
  TelegramNotifier,
  formatOrderNotificationHtml,
  AlertTransformer,
  TelegramChannel,
  DiscordChannel,
  type OrderNotificationPayload,
} from '@kido/notify';

// 1. Initialize Hybrid Timing Wheel Scheduler
const zsetStore = new InMemoryZSetStore();
const scheduler = new HybridNotificationScheduler({
  store: zsetStore,
  onTrigger: async (job) => {
    console.log(`[Timer Fired] Executing scheduled job: ${job.id} (Channel: ${job.channel})`);
    if (job.channel === 'TELEGRAM') {
      await telegram.sendMessage(job.payload.chatId, job.payload.text);
    }
  },
});

await scheduler.start();

// 2. Schedule an Appointment Reminder 30 Days in the Future (Survives 24.8d overflow!)
const futureDate = new Date(Date.now() + 30 * 24 * 60 * 60 * 1000);
await scheduler.schedule({
  id: 'job-reminder-30d',
  channel: 'TELEGRAM',
  scheduledAt: futureDate,
  payload: {
    chatId: '-1001234567890',
    text: '🔔 Nhắc lịch hẹn bảo dưỡng định kỳ 1 tháng!',
  },
});
console.log('Successfully scheduled job 30 days into the future.');

// 3. Format and Send Real-Time Order Notification to Telegram
const telegram = new TelegramNotifier({
  botToken: process.env.TELEGRAM_BOT_TOKEN || 'mock-bot-token',
  defaultChatId: '-1001234567890',
});

const orderPayload: OrderNotificationPayload = {
  orderId: 'ORD-VN-88219',
  customerName: 'Hoàng Anh Tuấn',
  phone: '0905112233',
  deliveryAddress: '456 Lê Duẩn, Thanh Khê, Đà Nẵng',
  items: [
    { name: 'Gà Rán Giòn Cay (2 miếng)', quantity: 2, price: 75_000 },
    { name: 'Trà Đào Cam Sả', quantity: 2, price: 35_000 },
  ],
  totalAmount: 220_000,
  paymentMethod: 'VIETQR',
  paymentStatus: 'PAID',
  note: 'Giao trước 12h trưa',
};

const orderHtml = formatOrderNotificationHtml(orderPayload);
console.log('Formatted Telegram HTML Notification:\n' + orderHtml);

// 4. Incident Response: Fan Out Critical P0 Alert to Telegram & Discord
const opsBridge = [
  new TelegramChannel({ botToken: 'mock-bot-token', chatId: '-100-OPS-ALERT' }),
  new DiscordChannel({ webhookUrl: 'https://discord.com/api/webhooks/mock-url' }),
];

const incidentAlert = AlertTransformer.transformCustom({
  title: 'PostgreSQL Primary Replication Lag Critical',
  message: 'Replication lag exceeded 500MB on replica node-02. Fallback to cold standby triggered.',
  severity: 'CRITICAL',
  service: 'core-database',
  metadata: {
    lsnLagBytes: 524288000,
    replicaHost: 'replica-db-02.internal',
  },
});

for (const channel of opsBridge) {
  await channel.send(incidentAlert);
}
console.log('Dispatched incident alert across all Ops channels.');
