We implemented a load balancer and cached hot paths to handle up to 1,000 concurrent users, which we stress tested to ensure reliability. I emphasize the importance of turning feelings into facts with our logging and monitoring systems, which provide insights into traffic, latency, and errors. Additionally, I highlight our documentation and CI processes that ensure changes are production-ready. Please review the metrics and logs I presented to help identify any bottlenecks.
