Have you ever rolled back a cost-saving change because it affected performance?

[Eli 🥷 @eli_tech9]

A cheaper infrastructure setup ended up being too expensive for the user experience.

On paper, the new setup looked more efficient. In practice, the app’s admin performance dropped, and Largest Contentful Paint increased to 3.3 seconds.

I decided to roll the changes back.

[Eli 🥷 @eli_tech9]

Lower infrastructure costs are not worth it when merchants have to wait longer for the app to load. Sometimes an unsuccessful experiment is still useful—it shows exactly where optimisation should not compromise the user experience.

💯

Job right?

[Eli 🥷 @eli_tech9]

Heh

[Eli 🥷 @eli_tech9]

Not every feature is visible to merchants.

Today I’m working on monitoring:
API health, webhooks, functions, and admin performance.

If a Shopify app handles operational notifications, it should detect problems before merchants have to report them heh

@Rixhabh__ I've created a similar memory system for my solo dev workflow (with hashes and ro/rw permissions). It's a little inspiring that I think similarly

[Eli 🥷 @eli_tech9]

I’m building a small Shopify app for operational order notifications.

Not customer emails.

Not marketing campaigns.

Just a simple workflow:

when an order matches a filter, notify the right supplier, warehouse, or team member by email, Slack, or webhook.

@LinkedInHelp Hi LinkedInHelp Team, I'm having problems accessing my account. I sent the screenshot in a private message

@WakaTime I need only history for fun, but $12 it is more than PyCharm Pro 😑

[Eli 🥷 @eli_tech9]

Hey @WakaTime team!
Can you add more price options?

[Eli 🥷 @eli_tech9]

If you try to write via the support form on any page, you will get the same error message, without the possibility to contact technical support

@MiroHQ The platform is not working. I can't write to tech support because I can't log into my account. I have a call in 8 minutes and I can't access my stuff. What is the point of paying for a premium account?
