A client demands 'real-time analytics for 1M events/sec' with no data loss. Draft functional requirements, NFRs (throughput, latency, retention), and propose a streaming pipeline architecture (components like ingest, stream backbone, processing, storage). Justify choices between batch and streaming and mention exactly-once considerations.

You are given a 50k-line monolith serving 200ms average latency. The business requires a new feature to handle 3x traffic in six months. Propose an approach that includes short-term mitigation, medium-term refactor options (strangler, extract service), rollback plan, and metrics to decide whether to refactor or scale the monolith.
