Around March of 2017, I received a call asking for a code review on a product about to be launched. This company had issues with memory leaks, spontaneous crashing, slow loading, CPU spiking, and had to release in a couple of weeks. You might have heard this story before, just not from me, and not about this company. It’s surprisingly common. We got together on the weekend and started looking through the code together.

To be honest, GraphQL had its dose of hype the last months.

On July 19, CircleCI faced a sitewide outage which left thousands of teams unable to test and deploy builds for the better part of a day. This outage affected the productivity of many development teams, and surely caused a few missed deadlines. We value the trust our customers place in us, and are deeply sorry for the effect this had on their work. For those interested, we want to give more details as to what happened, why it happened, and what we’re doing about it.

There’s always a reason to rebuild. Perhaps you’re a CEO of a startup that’s had some success and your engineers are clamoring to replatform and do a rewrite from scratch. Perhaps you’re an executive or IT lead and you’re counting the cost of pulling the trigger on a rewrite of a legacy application. Perhaps you’re a lead engineer in the midst of a rebuild and are having second thoughts (am I crazy?). Regardless of where you’re at, you likely already know that talk of rebuilds, like talk of tax reform or anarchy, is just a tad bit dangerous—you never know what kind of danger you’ll end up in...
