Architecture

Novu’s Object Communication Layer (OCL) is a structured framework that separates communication tasks into specialized components. Similar to microservices, these components handle specific roles like message passing and data management. By doing so, OCL enhances system maintenance and scalability, making it easier to integrate new functionalities. Novu’s approach goes beyond this, optimizing communication protocols for seamless collaboration and adaptability. It’s like providing a playbook for coordinating a dynamic game, ensuring all players are synchronized for any challenge.
