Really solid breakdown of messaging APIs—especially the focus on scalability and realtime delivery.

One angle that might be worth adding is self-hosted vs fully managed messaging infrastructure. A lot of teams in fintech or healthcare are starting to prioritize data ownership and on-prem deployment alongside performance.
