My understanding of UDP is it's supposed to be for heavy, lossy traffic where late traffic is pointless or harmful (like video streaming frames, if your frame is late better toss it out than keep it). But I kind of want my notifications even if they're late. I think I'm missing something in my understanding. I was thinking if you can stream using DNS, and cut out something like Kafka, that might be a big deal, but on second thought it doesn't make sense because DNS is more about service discovery than it is about piping load; you want an alias to a server that does the heavy lifting.

Brain messy today.
