I did have a bit of trouble reading it at first. But because I was determined to, I got through. Unfortunately after getting through, it made more sense than it did initially. :) So I'm struggling to think of useful feedback.

If this were just a discussion about backend architectures or message queue architectures or Chiselstrike it might feel more cohesive.

I think it's challenging to describe simply, because you've built a system that masks over these different architectures.

Super minor things: 1) personally I find memes in technical articles distracting but I know not everyone agrees. And 2) the differing graphics backgrounds and borders on the gray background, coupled with Medium's (two) sidebars is also a little distracting.
