Now that I'm digging deeper, it seems there are one or more projects in progress built around Push-like things, in particular T113125 . I don't see any evidence that there's been live deploy of them yet, but maybe I'm missing something or other. If we have a live deploy of any kind of push-like functionality through the text cluster, it's a likely candidate for issues above in the short term.
In the long term, discussions about push services need to loop in #traffic much earlier in the process. This kind of thing is a definite No through the current traffic termination architecture as it's configured today. I've even seen some tickets mention the possibility of push for anonymous users (!). The changes on our end to sanely accommodate various push technologies reliably at wiki-scale could potentially be very large and costly, and could involve carving out a separate parallel edge-facing architecture for this stuff, distinct from the edge architecture we use for simpler transactions. We don't have any kind of long-term planning at the #traffic level around supporting this in our annual plans and headcounts, either. It may seem like a small thing from some perspectives, but push notifications at wiki-scale is a huge sea-change on our end from simple HTTP transactions.
