Why we picked it The CTO of India's largest broker explains how a tiny team scales huge load by optimizing the application before touching infrastructure or rewriting. It is a strong reminder that hitting a limit usually means fixing the slow query, not rebuilding the system. A grounded Indian counterweight to the belief that scale requires a from-scratch rewrite.

Answers I built my MVP on no-code but my technical co-founder wants to rewrite it in real code. When is that migration actually worth it? How do I evaluate the code quality of a build I inherited from an agency? We ship fast but our codebase is turning into a mess. How much should a two-person startup care about tech debt? Should we ship an ugly, half-working version now or wait until it feels good enough to be proud of? How should our shipping process change once we hire our first engineer and it is no longer just me pushing to production?
