Joined November 2018
š„ Latency matters! We pitted Unkey against Upstash Redis in a global ratelimit performance test across 6 regions. The results? Clear.

Don't find bugs in my code, otherwise I will rewrite all my code because I looked at it again.

We are building deploy so everyone has the insights they need to make real decisions. Clean and simple so whether this is your first production API or your 100th you'll know what is happening.

L take. We only hire WFH / remote. You can show up to my office but youāll have to explain to my family who you are.
if your job is still WFH its basically like having a rent controlled apartment. u cant leave cause nobody is hiring for these anymore

should have used @unkeydev instead of redis that isnāt really built for ratelimiting.
Our API handled 500 requests per second with zero issues. Marketing ran a campaign. Traffic hit 5,000 rps. What broke wasn't what we expected: - Application servers? Fine. - Database? Fine. - Load balancer? Fine. - Our rate limiter crashed because we stored rate limit counters

Everyone getting new handles and we still can't get @unkey.... so we can replace @unkeydev. Come on @nikitabier let me buy it from you. I used the handles marketplace the day of launch and haven't heard a peep and I can't find out how to reach out to speed up the review.

I think we are more Mitchell and Webb but I will take it. Closer to being accurate now, I appreciate the tongue in cheek. Get ready to update it again though. SDK, Gateway, deployment platform Thanks! @Zuplo
They removed the entire page, without acknowledging anything. So I guess we are good?

Do you reckon Elon, was upset that Larry Ellison was richer than him for a micro second. So he got this giant package so it would never happen again?

Hey @Zuplo Who do I need to talk to about this? https://t.co/mXaP4bCS8E There is a lot wrong with the comparison, even when it was written. Not to call you out... but was this written by Slop?
