Working on that API gateway with you was a lot of fun :)

To be fair, we did run into some issues with the GHC garbage collector performance initially. That took some time to figure out and wasn't the easiest thing ever. Like all tools, there are rough edges sometimes.

I still maintain that the Haskell we wrote at the time was pretty cheap in terms of operational load / bugs to fix (especially compared to the systems that they replaced). When I was back at the office for a reunion, I heard that things were still pretty nice in this respect, but maybe someone still at Channable can chime in with more recent stories! (Or complain to me about the code I wrote back then)
