The main detriment here was that people couldn’t see their current visitors & there was a delay in their dashboard stats. One of our big positioning points is that, unlike various competitors, we don’t run on cheap VPS hardware, we run on serverless infrastructure (Lambda, SQS, etc).

This idea was solid, and a great band-aid, but we would’ve then had to find a way to clean up (process) the data in this new database and it seemed too complex.

This would completely remove the blocking issue we had, where all of our customers were drowned out by a single site.

After going through all that drama, it was 7 PM and it was time to wind down, put my toddler to bed and go to sleep.
