    Edge computing is the new frontier.
    Thanks for the tips! I'll take a look - requests are typically super fast, so perhaps the database is just under high load due to launch. (I run replicas in a couple cities on <a href="https://fly.io">https://fly.io</a>, so general latency should be low too.) For the filenames - I'll take a look. I'm using some popular libraries for files, which I <i>hope</i> address things like this.

  4. Personal websites, reinvented. Postcard is a new way to create and host a personal website. No code or design skills required.
    Yes, it's Ruby on Rails! I'm using Hotwired on the frontend, which has been great for making discussions real-time while minimizing complexity. I'm hosting on Fly.io - I had used Render for a prior product (https://postcard.page), and found Render slow. Fly lets me set up multiple data centers, and they have an elegant little Ruby gem [1] to enable multi-region support on Rails without much fuss.

    Hey, thanks for the follow-up. While traffic on the marketing website has decreased since launch, traffic on the main app has increased. I do some performance monitoring (using https://skylight.io) and have identified some opportunities for speed-up. I'm working on getting those updated. I also just resized the database - it seems that some read queries were being slow. I'm continuing to dig into the postgres settings and indexes to make sure everything is good, too.
