Building visually stunning products
summary
Two 0-to-1 creator products launch to a small group: IG Subscriptions with a subscriber badge (purple crown), subscriber-only Stories and Lives, and Music Releases with notification and song-page plumbing. Scale uses an offline follower table plus a massive fan-out system to push hundreds of millions of notifications, client-side versus server-side clipping for a 15 second pre-release to prevent leakage, caching and query elimination that shave ~3% page latency and reclaim ~0.3% global CPU.
