Well, that depends on the purging characteristics of Fastly - this blog post is quite nice to read https://www.fastly.com/blog/building-fast-and-reliable-purging-system https://www.fastly.com/blog/building-fast-and-reliable-purgi... We have a limit - you can only "tag" up to 1k items within one query. If you have more items in there, we can't purge all of them. Due to the nature of the broadcast protocol of Fastlys purging implementation, I assume that it scales quite well - they have really big customers using this for a few years already.

There is a big difference if you're using fastly's cache purging for simple cache invalidation without consistency requirements or if you are trying to do something like you're building. We're using Fastly ourselves and I was not aware up until today (and in fact I'm taking your word for it, since I can't find it in the docs) that fastly provides consistency guarantees for purges.
