Stacks (https://www.producthunt.com/posts/stacks-2-0) crossed 1500 users this week and we had our first scaling issue. Luckily we were able to resolve it with minimal impact to users.
Our users collectively imported 50K bookmarks in just 1 week and apparently our Elasticsearch instances were not tuned, resulting in index of over 50gb. (Stacks is a search engine for bookmarks, what good is the search engine without search 😅🙃)
Well now it is 😅🙌
What was your first scaling challenge?

Wow, congrats on hitting the 1500-user milestone and tackling that pesky scaling issue head-on! It's awesome to witness Stacks' rapid growth and the excitement it must be bringing to your team. Dealing with 50K bookmarks in just one week must have been a rollercoaster, but you guys nailed it like absolute pros! 👏
