MeshLine
A practical example
Example: a campaign launch creates a burst of 50,000 events; a platform that distributes the burst across ten workers clears it in minutes, while one that funnels it through a single worker takes hours.
What to evaluate before investing
- How does the platform assign records to workers — evenly, by shard, or by arrival order?
- Can one slow or stuck worker hold up records that other workers could process?
- Does the vendor publish throughput numbers under bursty load, not just steady load?
Limitations and tradeoffs
Even distribution assumes records are independent; if some records require ordering or share state, perfect balancing is impossible and some serialization is inherent.
