Oh we had it coming for quite some time and knew we would need to rebuild it, we just didn’t have the capacity to do it unfortunately.

I was working on it on and off moving one endpoint at a time but it was very slow until we hired someone who was able to focus on it.

It didn’t feel good at all. We knew the product had massive flaws due to the latency but couldn’t address it quickly. Especially cause we he to build more workarounds as time went on. Workarounds we knew would be made redundant by the reimplementation.

I think we had that discussion if “wtf are we doing here” pretty early, but we didn’t act on it in the beginning, instead we tried different approaches to make it work within the serverless constraints cause that’s what we knew well.
