A previous project I ran had a problem with the application running incredibly slowly. Our dev team was also pretty junior, and it seemed like they’d need a lot of time to find and fix the issue. Instead of fixing a clearly unscalable app, I chose to throw money at the problem instead. I upgraded the server infrastructure to be way more powerful than it reasonably should have been and spent my handful of sprint points building features for customer feedback. The product was cancelled a few months later, not having found PMF. I think I made the right call on ignoring scalability, anyone have a different take?
