Yeah, don't get me wrong, it looks good for what it is, and certainly some of the best products come from skunkworks and hobby.
Is there anywhere I can read about the specific problem at bitly you built it to facilitate? I mean, I've seen a lot of these systems where there are integration and timing concerns, so some kind of message bus is useful. But if they do get to a point where things needs to be distributed, sending messages without order and delivery guarantees just seems to be passing the buck to downstream systems to not mess up.
