I think what he meant is that the wildcard is not supported in the origin itself, for instance: https://*.somedomain.com.

per documentation, it's either "*" or "https://subdomain.somedomain.com"

why 443? are you assuming ssl here? serious question, I'm not sure. But if it is, wouldn't it be hard to disregard the weight of SSL in the metric?

if they were obfuscated the urls the app itself would need to process it to un-obfuscate, then the performance would take a hit, but I get your point. It's just the wrong service to host this.

I think this concept you mentioned would be called sharding? It's kinda required for apache Kafka and others.
