Sure, but there are some fundamentals about latency that any programmer should know [0] (absolute values outdated, but still useful as relative comparisons), like “network calls are multiple orders of magnitude slower than IPC.”

I’m assuming you’re an employee of the company based on your comments, so please don’t take this poorly - I applaud any and all public efforts to bring back sanity to modern architecture, especially with objective metrics.

I cofounded it yeah

And yeah you’re right in hindsight it was a terrible idea to begin with

I thought it could work but didn’t benchmark it enough and didn’t plan enough. It all looked great in early POCs and all of these issues cropped up as we built it
