Hi Amit,

Yes, underneath the hood we are using native browser [push notifications](https://developers.google.com/web/ilt/pwa/introduction-to-push-notifications). The (per-browser) client subscriptions is stored in the `push_subscriptions` table.

(Note, this depends on if you are on mobile or desktop: on desktop notifications, there is nothing to store, as it uses the browser [notification api](https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/API/notification). Only mobile notfications need to be stored server-side in the `push_subscriptions` table)

A post was split to a new topic: [Do push notifications use 3rd party brokers?](https://meta.discourse.org/t/do-push-notifications-use-3rd-party-brokers/178004)
