Scale Realtime Delivery Maps to 10,000 Users with Durable Logs

Deliver accurate, real-time delivery tracking to thousands of users by treating connections as disposable projections of a durable log.

●Builder Action:Developers must shift from assuming persistent connections to designing for ephemeral ones. Implement versioned envelopes for graceful API evolution, use resume cursors to track progress in durable logs, and build an explicit resync path for full state recovery. Partitioning by delivery ID is critical for scaling, with edge coalescing reducing update frequency to clients.
