Great outcome!
We just replaced Firestore subscriptions at @Lovable with a system built on NATS, cutting application payload by 97% compared with sending full results.View quoted post on X
Over 2 million concurrent subscriptions at peak. An estimated 40 TB → 1.11 TB actually sent in 30 days.
What’s crazy is that @AtaMarzban94 built the core in 40 days, and we rolled it out without a single user-facing incident.
Using proprietary software that 80% fits used to be fine, now you can just build your own that fits you perfectly. It’s like why would someone buy somewhat-fitting mass-produced clothes if they could easily make their own bespoke?
