The 3 Game-Changing Truths I Discovered Too Late That Could’ve Saved My Startup—and Your Sanity—20 Years Ago
Many founders discover, right in the middle of a launch, that an early single-tenant setup and bare-bones deployment pipeline won’t stretch to meet sudden demand. Deadlines start to drift while the team upgrades to multi-tenant architecture and spins up redundant cloud instances. The extra spend always outruns what a forward-looking investment would have cost, yet the experience makes scaling cheaper while it’s still in theory.
That’s why every roadmap review should open with a simple stress test. For example, for us, “What breaks if we need to bring 150 sites online next month?” — and why budgets must include the infrastructure to pass that test, even when today’s revenue makes the line item look ambitious. Planning for surge capacity before it’s urgent keeps launches on schedule and turns growth into a feature, not a fire drill.
