Nice. Sounds like a success? Was the experiment made permanent? If not, why not?

I would say it's a success, yes - it was great for quickly scaling up a theoretical product with a small engineering staff (just me lol).

Now that the product has matured, we've had to slow down significantly since we have a ton of paying users who expect SLAs and less bugs. This means more engineers, which means more testing and review, which means more process around what changes we're making.
