DoorDash Uses Envoy and Valkey for a 1.5M RPS Proxy Cache with 99.99999% Availability
DoorDash has developed Entity Cache, a transparent proxy caching platform built on Envoy and Valkey to reduce redundant service-to-service requests across its microservices architecture. Operating within DoorDash’s service mesh, the platform serves over 1.5M requests per second with 99.99999% availability through caching, event-driven invalidation, failure handling, and performance optimizations.

AWS Releases Loom, an Open-Source Reference Platform for Governing AI Agents at Enterprise Scale
AWS released Loom, an open-source reference platform on AWS Labs for governing AI agents at scale. Built on Strands Agents and Bedrock AgentCore Runtime, it implements RFC 8693 token exchange for identity propagation through delegated actor chains, config-driven deployments without runtime code generation, and mandatory tagging. AWS positions it as an example, not a managed service. By Steef-Jan Wiggers

Thus the client-side code is always distributed by the operator of the web server.

One schema per event type feels right until there are ten tables, union queries spanning all of them, and a single field rename touching every schema. Discriminator-based schema consolidation collapses that to two tables, turning multi-table unions into a single query, while new variants are additive and don't break existing consumers.
