Exciting work! Some questions:

1. Any plans on open-sourcing this?

2. Why not have a tiered architecture that can provide lower latency? p99 of 1s can be too high for some use-cases.

3. Related to 2, how does WarpStream compare to tiered storage in Pulsar?

Can you share some insight on how/if Kagi is different from Neeva[1] in its approach?

By an independent board do you mean that the H1B holder cannot themselves be on the company's board? Re: 50% ownership, is 50-50 split OK, or does it have to be less than 50?

I really wish more design docs / project reports looked like this article - talking about the whys, goals / non-goals, options considered, prototypes built, challenges, and solutions, learnings and next steps. Kudos!

Although GitHub supports the commit-based review the author is arguing for (they found it too after writing the article), I don't think it completely solves the problem - we need to be able review, test, and merge each commit individually without needing to merge the entire PR. Since GitHub doesn't have first-class support for dependent PRs, we are still "stuck" with a broken workflow. An example workaround: https://wchargin.github.io/posts/managing-dependent-pull-req.... Are there any better solutions?
