Architecture that serves 100+ million daily users with a claimed 250 ms top card render and a 93% cache hit ratio using Redis clusters with consistent hashing, regional replication, and prefetching heuristics. Uses SignalR then moves to WebSockets with REST-over-WebSocket to avoid TLS handshake latency and IP‑affinity hotspots. Describes an organized‑monolith pattern (domain DLLs, shared libs) to evolve safely into microservices; explains failures, profiling, and resource tradeoffs that drove each change.
