What breaks when messaging hits scale (and why APIs don't show it)
- Bridgexapi 6mo agoAt low volume everything looks fine. Requests return 200, delivery seems consistent. Once traffic goes up, that starts breaking. Same request, same setup, different results. Some messages are instant, some delayed, some just never show up. Nothing in the API response explains why. This is where messaging stops being a simple API call.

- Bridgexapi 6mo agoFair point. This came from debugging a few production cases where everything looked fine at the API level, but delivery still varied depending on downstream handling. Probably should’ve made that less abstract and more concrete.
