@babysoftluke @kirplatonov We run 1vCPU 3.7 RAM instance, CPU spikes a little over 50%. Jobs I'd say we run currently 240k per day, continuous processing of webhooks plus scheduled jobs every 5 minutes.

[Claudiu-Octavian Soare @cosoare]

@kirplatonov No, we run a single CloudSQL instance on GCP. The same one that powers the rails webapp. Also run on a single Cloudrun instance with 1 vCPU and it's fine for now.

Didn't see the need to invest more in scaling out for now but will become a problem ofc.

[Claudiu-Octavian Soare @cosoare]

@kirplatonov The only thing I noticed is it tends to hammer the database if you have a high number of jobs running, not a problem for now. But I think there's ways to mitigate that by tuning postgres (disabling the WAL on solid queue tables is something I want to try)

@jamesdevonport Used to happen to us too & we've restricted features and have to manually approve them. While annoying, it's good because it gets us talking to more users.

[Claudiu-Octavian Soare @cosoare]

@Swetamohanty94 Interested :)

@james406 This quality of your shitposting is off the charts! 😂
Underappreciated growth hacking 🥷

[Claudiu-Octavian Soare @cosoare]

@eternerd Would love to read :)

[Claudiu-Octavian Soare @cosoare]

@faridmovsumov How come you got 5 categories? :O amazing

[Claudiu-Octavian Soare @cosoare]

@kevin_miguet @ShopifyDevFazal I used to feel like this, maybe still do sometimes. You're not alone. I think it's useful to realise that those people in the past don't matter. It's probably more powerful visualising yourself in the future being happy😇

[Claudiu-Octavian Soare @cosoare]

@DebMecca Great advice - thank you! We're still in early stages, I assume you'd do this with bigger co's like the Shopify Plus'es of the world :)

[Claudiu-Octavian Soare @cosoare]

@DebMecca Wow 🤯 that actually makes a lot of sense! By far the best thing I've read on here, for a long time - thank you 🙏

[Claudiu-Octavian Soare @cosoare]

@DebMecca True! It's funny because I've spent sometimes so much time with people setting things up for them and when I ask them for a review they stop replying 😂

[Claudiu-Octavian Soare @cosoare]

@faridmovsumov I'd also ask if they have shared resources RAM/CPU - that could also impact the load time.

[Claudiu-Octavian Soare @cosoare]

@alexanderhupfer Will they post these videos online?

@DebMecca @liam_at_shopify If you look at this one, it carries similar traits with the other ones we've had to block: https://t.co/Msibj73D7N -- since we're SMS-based, they try to scam people with "delivery missed" scams. You could run a simple ML model on the shop names, maybe other attributes of the shop

[Claudiu-Octavian Soare @cosoare]

@DebMecca We are. Just reported it to Shopify and messaged @liam_at_shopify about it.

Not sure how they are able to sign up, especially with fake email addresses.

@harleyf @JackCulpan @Shopify What level of MRR does one need to start getting swag like this? 😂
