When building an MVP, design your architecture for a 5-to-7-year outlook and enterprise scale. Millions of database queries will come later, and rewrites are expensive. Hire engineers who've built systems that big before.
In terms of skills, you always need to think about how your product would be used in around 5 to 7 years. Even if you are building your MVP and pretty much you would presenting that to 5 clients, like the architecture behind that needs to be ready for what would happen in those 5, 7 years with like million queries to the database and And so on. So you need a type of person that was very much familiar with how to build an enterprise-ready product, if that's, of course, your goal. And that was our goal at Zyflo to be enterprise-ready.
