Hey everyone! For the last few weeks, we've been keeping our focus on increasing overall performance and solving multiple, critical bugs. This type of work typically takes longer and results in less noticeable weekly updates, but we're confident we're on track to see significant speed improvements in the platform very soon!
Here's a progress report:
Hiring:
  • We've made several key leadership hires in engineering in the last few weeks, all of who are leaders that have successfully tackled complex problems in past roles.
  • These new leaders will remain focused on reviewing our current processes around bugs and implementing new procedures.
  • We're also doubling down on the number of engineers we are hiring, already hiring over 10 this month!
Infrastructure:
  • We've hired 3 additional DevOps engineers so we can have specialized attention in key areas.
  • As we continue rebuilding our production infrastructure, the team is specifically focusing on the key areas that will yield increased reliability and stability.
  • We're currently prototyping new storage mechanisms on the backend to increase speed and productivity across the platform.
Search Refactoring:
  • Testing is underway in our internal environments for the new search data pipeline - this is a big win and we're seeing great initial results!
  • We'll continue to make adjustments and work to get this released for all users ASAP.
Notifications/Dashboards:
  • While we work on more holistic improvements to dashboards and notifications that take longer to test and release, we're identifying quick fixes that we can push to our users for immediate improvements.
We have a lot of work to do and we won't stop until it's done. We appreciate your feedback and support on this journey and I know we'll deliver on our promise of a reliable and stable platform to save our users time. Thank you so much for sticking by us!
