The Alert service is used to send email alerts and SMS. Alerts can be generated at various levels by other microservices. For example, successful creation of a consumer, provider, service, or an order may require an email to be sent to the relevant stakeholders. Similarly, alerts may be required whenever there is a change in the status of the order or a rating is received. The Alert service does not maintain a local database, it just generates events for each successful alert sent that can be tracked for monitoring purposes. The following table lists the endpoints for the Alert service:
URI | Params | Description |
