I am not sure if you realize that Eagle is fully embedded and rebranded within Fusion360 so you will have access to the same functionality but in integrated environment (for better or worse)

if anything I would think that person would write same code but without PR would lost the opportunity of having better quality. People are blind to own mistakes. I can't count how many times I would stare at a code not seeing something and other person would spot problem almost immediately.

not to be rude but 250K uniques users is 3 new users per second and doesn't say anything about concurrent users. Concurrent users are scaling problem

Why you wouldn't use AWS http events for this. Especially because connections are decoupled from processing

in my experience it is usually not required and not desirable to have distributed transaction where transaction coordinator is your remote client. It is also habitual behaviour, you are used to ACID so it must be that ACID is required. Currently have that type of discussions at work where people want to have atomic consistency across distributed systems just because mental model is easier. Whenever eventual consistency raises ugly head people get worried :)

depends, if all requests are parallel they should hit different instances and that would distribute load more efficiently instead of pinning to single instance. You would actually get response in 200ms not to mention that your ability to properly size each node is increased. It also enables you to have a grey area where response can be partial and not just fail/pass. As usual YMMW depending on use case.

also remember that median always exists so it will always be a case that there is 1/2 under and 1/2 over.If all companies paying median raise that by 20% what is a current median?
