Of course. :)<p>I don&#x27;t mean to imply you weren&#x27;t working hard or that these bugs were unusual for any complex project. I&#x27;m just getting the impression that the current version of RethinkDB you end up scaling like this if you were attempting to be safe:<p>1) Get to 5-9 Nodes<p>2) Vertically scale this cluster.<p>3) Shard via adding additional clusters [e.g. 5 Clusters of 7 Nodes] since ~30 nodes for certain workloads you run into performance issues.
