We analyzed the codebases of 100 startups that hit a scalability wall (*)
The goal was not to find the most exotic bug. The goal was to find the most common, expensive, and preventable patterns of failure.

The results were almost identical across 85% of them. Here is what the data says.

What is the most cost-effective hardware configuration for maximizing capacity in a non-redundant plex server storage setup?

We spent 6 months. Three engineers. One dedicated product manager. Endless meetings about "enterprise readiness."
