I'm curious if CodePush[0] can be used along side (or integrated into) Mobile Center.

That seems like a no-brainer if you are supporting React Native based apps.

Also, I didn't see any support for platform native Notification APIs for React Native. The current notification service is for pure-JS / Cordova[1]

Yes, CodePush can be used with Mobile Center - here is a demo video (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lfqZ8Uy2p3U)

CodePush will also be integrated into Mobile Center, so that you can also making CodePush a part of your CI process. We are also working on adding support for Authentication, storage, testing and Push notifications.

Awesome to hear!

Do you have a general timeframe?

I'm going to be deciding between Azure Mobile Center and AWS Mobile Hub in the next couple months for a personal project.

You should be able to use Mobile Center and CodePush separately today. We are planning to incrementally roll out a backward compatible solution over the next 2 months.
