The talk will cover the following key points:

• Introduction to mobile app Launch challenges:
• Designing a push architecture for app launch acceleration -How push architecture reduces latency and optimizes app launch times
• Lessons learned and future considerations: 1. Too many and too less- how do you decide the kafka partitions 2. How do you decide on kafka topics- splitting kafka topics
