    Most legacy rewrites don't fail at launch. They fail 18 months earlier, the day someone approves a 2-year "Big Bang" timeline. By the time a complete rewrite ships, the business has changed, specs have drifted, and the new system is already obsolete. A better way 👇

    Read replicas don't fix a write-bound #database. I’ve watched teams add 6 replicas and wonder why nothing got faster. Replicas scale reads. They do zero for write throughput or tables that outgrew single-node indexing. Here is the truth about scaling writes👇
