Even 1M simultaneous users reporting every ~30 seconds could average down to ~30k messages per second. And they'd be extremely trivial to segment between servers. You're right, not a weekend hack, but a few weeks of a small team's time isn't out of the question. The technical side is not the challenge here though really - the business side is.

There is also a lot of failure handling and recovery that needs to be done gracefully, which I think would be complicated for a session-based system. Again, I'm no expert, just making educated guesses!
