I'm a systems engineer but I've never done low level optimizations on drives. How does one even go about even testing something like this? It sounds like something cool that I'd like to be able to do

It's ridiculously hard to get to $1M ARR. ScrapingBee seems to be in the sweet spot where you don't have to work as hard to keep things running so it can be ran `forever` with a small team. This is no small feat and should be cele

I agree with a caveat: to actually produce things, sometimes meetings are not an impediment, they're vital. They're the quickest way to come to a consensus and share exceptions during design quickly

One worry I have is with sensitive data e.g. HIPAA protected information. How do you guarantee that the data is safe at rest. Are there encryption at rest options? With online-first applications, you can just expire the sessions after x min
