I see you joining the bands of "serverless" computing - this is no easy feat - can you speak to what is in your backend and how you plan to support heavy workloads?

It shouldn't be an issue - the API currently sits on Google's Cloud Platform which provides the infrastructure and tools to scale the service. IMO Snapchat's usage of the platform really speaks to the stability and capability of it.

  1) Site's hosted on DigitalOcean, not GCP 2) How's Snapchat using this? which endpoint exactly? 3) Your website has already been down several times (see other comments). So sketchy!

  If I am going to trust you my API I want to know that you have top notch SLAs on your service, and since I am providing the code you are going to want to monitor the heck out of it so that you know that in case of failure whose fault it is.

    Understood, we will work on finding that info and surfacing it on the site. As far as monitoring and errors go, the program is actually hosted by us in this case. So unless the program is faulty in some way any response issue is probably our fault.
