this was precisely what NFDB is trying to achieve with a bunch more as well
no one understands the limitations until they are a large relay operator, and even then most of them don’t have the skills to write good relay software
this turns opex from trying to herd a bunch of strfry or whatever instances, into capex
all you need is the message queue, DB and frontends
the frontends are completely stateless
the DB can be scaled up by adding more nodes (you copy a file and done!)
the message queue can be pluggable and is also easy to scale
