      When one of our customers clicks "send" on a message to 250,000 patrons (a common occurrence) the backend delivers those pushes to the phones in seconds. As 10's of thousands of patrons open the app simultaneously that traffic flows into the backend which must maintain high reliability and low latency for a positive customer experience.
