The team migrated from Postgres and Elixir to Rust and ScyllaDB Cloud, eliminated Riak and most Redis usage, and replaced 100+ cores of microservices with just four Google Cloud nodes. The result: lower latency, 5K ops/sec at under 20% load, simpler ops, and reduced infrastructure costs.\n        \n        ","thumbnail_url":"https://img.transistorcdn.com/HZ9CRzf5js9DK86xzUVMWBRbXYwg4dA8xVXJGVzpL6Y/rs:fill:0:0:1/w:400/h:400/q:60/mb:500000/aHR0cHM6Ly9pbWct/dXBsb2FkLXByb2R1/Y3Rpb24udHJhbnNp/c3Rvci5mbS8xMTNl/MjgwMmI0ZmEzNThj/YmJiOWNiN2UyZmRm/MzY3My5qcGVn.webp","thumbnail_width":300,"thumbnail_height":300}
