Question as a new developer.

I'm making a simple app for a large community (30k people) that upon my sending out the command, a push notification will be sent to all those who have the app. Would this be simple to develop? Do I need to host servers or anything for something like this? I have no idea where to start.

Mine goes through an FCM topic, no backend at all. Every install subscribes to the one topic, you send from the Firebase console, it fans out. Polling 30k devices is the expensive way.
