I believe you're referring to our January 2020 Kafka incident where a logic bug caused data loss for a customer. It was a serious failure and a huge learning moment for us.
The platform we operate today is fundamentally different and far more resilient than it was five years ago. We've scaled significantly (recently passing $100M ARR) because we took those early lessons seriously and continue to prioritize reliability.
