Yep totally agree. And also realistically once we hit that kind of scale it was perfectly reasonably to start looking at other options as well.

It's been a while but I think we were at like 250mm MAUs when we finally decided to break up the rails monolith (and I think it was still on Rails 3 at the time, but don't quote me on that). The number of companies that ever hit that kind of scale approaches zero, and even less in the B2B space.
