Optimize for change, not scale
Early on, your biggest risk isn't traffic — it's building the wrong thing. We favor clear module boundaries and simple, well-named interfaces so the parts that will change can change cheaply.
Pick boring, proven technology
An MVP is the wrong place to bet on bleeding-edge tools. A well-understood stack — a managed database, a mainstream framework, a single deployable service — gets you to users faster and is far easier to hire for.
Instrument from day one
Add logging, error tracking, and basic analytics before launch, not after. The earliest usage data is the most valuable signal you'll get for what to build next.
Defer the hard scaling problems — deliberately
You don't need sharding, microservices, or multi-region on launch day. We leave clean seams where that complexity can be added later, and document the assumptions so the future rewrite — if it ever comes — is surgical, not total.
