Thoughts? Seems like we are one of the only bigger instances with open sign ups still as well.

    I fully agree - there’s no excuse why the DB should be falling over when I’ve seen a single postgres instance (with a read replica, granted) handle >1M users just fine. Unfortunately my SQL skills haven’t improved since my DB class in university, so I won’t be much help. I’ll be keeping an eye on the repo of course, and I can give some consulting/guidance or even open some PRs myself when they decide to implement horizontal scaling.

      Yeah. I’m in the same boat. My SQL skills aren’t impressive either since there are other people at work that handle optimization. Haven’t used rust either (yet) so cannot really contribute there either. Though I’m considering potentially starting work on a cross platform mobile app. I haven’t worked with mobile apps for a good six or seven years, so I feel like it’s high time I get back up to speed. (But knowing me, I’ll end up making something half finished and the start procrastinating)
