Couldn't agree more. This follow-up really amplifies the points from your previous article on REVA's database struggles. It's so insightful to see OpenAI's strategy proving that discipline with fundamental database scaling, like optimization and smart replication, consistantly outperforms premature jumps to distributed systems. A clear roadmap for handling growth, honestly.
Exceptional deep dive into replica strategies. The workload isolation pattern with dedicated replica pools is probaly the most underrated scaling technique because most teams just add replicas without thinking about noisy neighbour problems. I've seen analytics queries crush user-facing traffic countless times before we seperated them. The 9 production rules section is gold, especially the prepared statements trap with PgBouncer in transaction mode.

Glad its useful. Assessment and discretion plays a big role in Software Development.
