Firebase Cloud Messaging vs Novu

import { initializeApp } from 'firebase-admin/app';
import { getMessaging } from 'firebase-admin/messaging';

initializeApp({
  credential: cert({
    projectId: process.env.FIREBASE_PROJECT_ID!,
    clientEmail: process.env.FIREBASE_CLIENT_EMAIL!,
    privateKey: process.env.FIREBASE_PRIVATE_KEY!.replace(/\\n/g, '\n'),
  }),
});

// Send a notification to a single device
const message = {
  notification: {
    title: 'New message',
    body: 'You have a new message from Alice',
  },
  token: 'device_fcm_token_here',
};

const response = await getMessaging().send(message);
console.log('Successfully sent:', response);

import { Novu } from '@novu/node';

const novu = new Novu(process.env.NOVU_API_KEY!);

// Trigger a notification workflow
await novu.trigger('welcome-email', {
  to: {
    subscriberId: 'user-123',
    email: 'alice@example.com',
    firstName: 'Alice',
  },
  payload: {
    username: 'Alice',
    ctaUrl: 'https://myapp.com/dashboard',
  },
});
