Original Summary

Last week I posted here about our analytics lying to us, right after fixing a bug that almost crossed two clients' voices in outbound. Turns out both problems traced back to the same thing. We'd split the voice data correctly, but the event pipeline logging "message sent" and "reply received" was still writing to one shared table with a client_id column nobody had indexed. Under load, race conditions meant one client's outbound sometimes got counted toward another client's conversions. We didn't notice because the totals looked fine on our end. It surfaced when one of our three paying businesses asked why our dashboard didn't match what they were seeing in their own inbox. Took two days to rebuild the pipeline with hard per-client partitioning instead of a shared table with a filter, then backfill three weeks of events and recalculate everything. The honest numbers came out better for two of the three businesses and worse for one. Worse is not a fun call to make to a paying customer, but running outbound on numbers you can't trust is how you lose people, not to a bad product, to a broken promise. We're taking on new businesses before the founding price closes October 15 (129 a month, 12 months for the price of 10, locked for life) and before this opens to the public November 3. If you want to see the actual system instead of reading about it, it's linked in the comments.   submitted by   /u/Embarrassed-Emu-4958 [link]   [comments]
