Notifications REST Api call , Community impact

I think polling as a development strategy is always a really bad idea, so I don't think the question is "can the system cope" but "is there a better way of doing this" If you were to go down this route I would put a cached lightweight facadé in front of the notification API that integrated using webhooks, websockets or someother push mechanism from the platform, this would prevent putting high load on the web nodes of the solution.
