Is there a tech blog of how Pix is built?

this is our 3rd pivot :) we've launched other products before such as Ledger API processing over $100m in txn volume a month and a PCI vault for fintechs with 1m+ users. However we took a hard decision to pivot again as we didn't feel like we'd achieve the impact we wanted in those markets.
Which ledger api is that and which PCI vault?
I need this for openwrt:)

It’s not about Redis vs not Redis, it’s about working with data that does not serialize well or lend itself well to extremely high update velocity.
Things like: counters, news feeds, chat messages, etc
The cost of delivery for doing these things well with a LSM based DB or RDB might actually be higher than Redis. Meaning: you would need more CPUs/memory to deliver this functionality, at scale, than you would with Redis, because of all the overhead of the underlying DB engine.
But for 99% of places that aren’t FAANG, that is fine actually. Anything under like 10k QPS and you can do it in MySQL in the dumbest way possible and no one would ever notice.
Exactly. Lots of people read post by companies doing millions of qps and then decide that they need redis, kafka, elastic, nosql, etc right from start. And that complicates things.
We are currently at 500k RPS scale and we have probably around a handful of use cases for Redis and it works great

1.7k€ and 300w for a playground. Man this world is getting crazy and I’m getting f-kin old by not understanding it.
not too sure what you mean - the planner is available as soon as you log in. Was there something missing for you?
Why is it not available as soon as I open the front page? First name? Last name? Email? Perhaps add DOB and a phone number or some other personal data so that I could the pretty please try out your product? What line of thinking is there “i’ll put everyhing behind a signup wall”?
Hey thank you - I'm still trying to optimise the mobile experience. It's primarily meant to be desktop based. Will get working on it for you!
You will get far with “primarily desktop” in 2024
You have created a signup form not a joint trip planner. Asking users to signup without giving them anything - thank you but no
Good. Android will continue becoming s*t show.
I assume most organizations, both small and large, just host on whatever provider they know or that costs them the least. If you have budget maybe you deploy to multiple providers for redundancy? But that increases cost and complexity.
Who’s going to bother with colo given the cost / complexity? Who’s going to run a server from their office given ISP restrictions and downtime fears?
What is the realistic antidote here?
