Event-Driven Notification System

Design an event-driven notification system that can send real-time notifications to users based on system events, such as updates from a social media app, alerts, or reminders. The system should handle a large volume of notifications with varying priority levels and support different channels like SMS, email, and in-app notifications. Discuss how you would ensure reliability and scalability in your design.
