The point isn't to resolve user problems, it's to reduce the number of people taking up the time of support agents. Letting people vent in a pseudo-official channel accomplishes that. Whenever something gets resolved that was being fixed anyway, because the "industry partners", enterprise and high level customers wanted it, they can mark an issue as resolved, and generate the appearance of responsive service.

It's like standing up complex automated phone menus, you're going to frustrate a certain number of callers into giving up, and reduce the overall number of customers you have to interact with.

We need a scale reform for modern businesses - platforms and companies like Microsoft are logistically incapable of providing good service to their customers, or moderating hundreds of millions or even billions of users, effectively separating these companies from all the harm they cause.

If you can't responsibly operate a business past a certain scale, you shouldn't be allowed to continue growth. I don't know what that looks like, legally speaking, but it's necessary, for what should be reasons obvious to everyone.

Is there a whole business to be had with those advantages alone? I’m curious as to who the target market is.

My last big co, we had a team of 10 who's entire job was to sync data from Postgres into Elastic. It would take weeks and fallover regularly due to traffic.

If we could have a DB that could do search and be a store of record, it would be amazing.

I want to use this right now, but two issues:

- Bash script from Internet requiring sudo, no way

- VSCode plugin? I don't use VSCode. I'm not switching from Zed (literally built in Rust for Rust development)

Help me out, what can I do to try this?

We used it to shard a database at Instacart after your time instead of the “replicate everything and drop the data on the shard approach”. That combined with dropping all the indexes (minus the primary key) worked well for the data copy/initial sharding.
