Hmmm... I'll get in touch. Got an email i can reach out to, there doesn't seem to be one listed on your website?

I'm more concerned about if the p99s stay consistent when things get spikey.

dgraph is fine otherwise...

It's not, its actually our prod db with direct user usage - we self host a large dgraph cluster. We have a very large number of people manage their car and car histories with us and host a full replica of the UK MOT Database.

We're fine with clickhouse and redshift for the OLAP work we do. I've been looking at ParaQuery lately if I really want to speed that up.

We've been having some issues with intermittent performance on multi hop queries.

What's your p99 like for multi hops?

Surya and the team at Warp build are so customer focused - it's great!

Yeah seems only the UK is suffering. At least the main site seems to be up again now.
