Requests are flowing. Green dots are paid users, white are free. Pick something to break.

    A simulation of the production design: same queues, coalescing, janitor, watchdog, bounded drain and charge-on-delivery rules, with timings scaled to production medians. The counters above are from this simulation, not from production.

    02 — Wallet · In production

    Every balance equals its postings.

    A double-entry ledger that reads bank notifications and credits a matching transfer with no human in the loop. Card numbers are kept only as HMACs, and every write is idempotent.

    03 — Fleet control plane · In production

    One command.
    Any server.
