Things I Actually Improved

Real numbers from real servers that real people depend on

Cold Start

93%

API boot went from 45s to 3s — yes, 45 seconds was real

Throughput

42%

Quiz serving got faster with Redis. Users didn't notice. That's the point.

Search Latency

78%

Search over 10M+ records now under 280ms. Was painful before.

DB Load

85%

Added caching layers so the database could finally breathe

RAM Usage

85%

1.2GB → 180MB. The server stopped sweating.

Gateway

10K

req/min and it stays up. That's the whole job.
