// numbers that kept me employed

Things I Actually Improved

Real numbers from real servers that real people depend on

BFF Endpoints
40+

Backend-for-frontend endpoints for leaderboards, heatmaps, and readiness scores over a multi-tenant model

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.

Ingestion Pipeline
50M+

Daily events into BigQuery over Kafka/Pub-Sub, under 30s end-to-end

RAM Usage
85%

1.2GB → 180MB. The server stopped sweating.

Gateway
10K

req/day at under 200ms and it stays up. That's the whole job.
