just found a solid way to manage notifications by storing the next due instant in UTC and using a short dispatcher to feed a worker pool. it keeps everything aligned during

pure schedule data rather than relying on the delivery system itself
but don't forget to rate-limit that queue or your downstream services will melt . anyone else using a separate checkpoint layer for this?
