The CTO Podcast with Fexingo · 2026-08-26 · 11 min
In this episode of The CTO Podcast, Lucas and Luna dig into how Notion's engineering team reduced notification noise by 70 percent, a project that started with a simple question: why do users keep muting our alerts? They walk through the technical decisions, from consolidating event streams to building a relevance scoring model, and the surprising trade-offs that came with it. Along the way, they talk about measuring user engagement without falling into vanity metrics, and how a small team can drive a big infrastructure change without breaking the product. If you're building a system that sends notifications, or just curious about how real engineering teams tackle user experience problems, this one's for you. #Notion #NotificationNoise #EngineeringLeadership #UserExperience #RelevanceScoring #EventStreams #Infrastructure #TechDebt #ProductEngineering #CTOPodcast #BusinessAndTechnology #FexingoBusiness #BusinessPodcast #TechLeadership #Architecture #EngineeringOrg #DataDriven #UserEngagement Keep every episode free: buymeacoffee.com/fexingo
