Company authenticates email traffic and reports 3 billion messages validated over three years, requiring sub‑second lookups to avoid phishing delivery. Production uses a Ruby stack and Go for the rapid authentication path, scales by sharding and distributed query handling, and operates over DNS transactions for policy checks.
