+ I want to share a quick note with full transparency regarding an incident from today. +
++ If you notice missing events in older session timelines, this is the reason: during a + storage migration to a new layout that improves performance, I identified some orphaned + event entries from the very early days of the platform and attempted to remove them. + Unfortunately, part of the filter logic was not applied as expected, and I did not catch + the issue quickly enough. As a result, a larger number of historical event entries were + deleted. +
++ The impact is mainly limited to older session timelines. The platform is designed so + that events are most valuable during the enrollment itself and shortly afterwards for + troubleshooting and analysis. Over time, they become less critical and are used more + for reporting purposes. In addition, the default configuration already removes sessions + and events after 90 days. Even so, the impact is real, and I want to be open about it. +
++ This happened while I was implementing a new table structure to address one of the root + causes identified during Private Preview: performance limitations caused by the previous + storage design. The new layout significantly improves that area, but in this case the + migration also introduced this incident. +
++ I take this seriously. While issues like this can happen during a Private Preview, + especially in a fast-moving product, I know that does not reduce the impact. At the + moment, I also do not have a separate staging environment, so larger refactorings + currently have to be carried out on the live system. That is not ideal, and I will put + additional operational safeguards and procedures in place to reduce the risk of this + happening again. +
++ Thank you for your understanding, your patience, and your trust. I hope this message + reflects the level of transparency I want to maintain while building the platform + together with early adopters. +
