Like I said, there are a lot of factors to consider.  And guarantee delivery may or may not be a requirement based on your use case. For example, wouldn't we want to monitor based on state changes? Missing a message could mean not sending an alert, right? How do you compensate for that if you don't guarantee delivery?
