Most ERPs buckle under heavy load or cost a fortune. We built Barawave (AI-powered ERP/CRM) to handle 10M transactions/day without breaking the bank. Here’s how we did it:*
DB Tricks: Switched from row-based to columnar (PostgreSQL → ClickHouse) for analytics, 8x faster at 1/3 the cost.
Async Everything: Used Rust + Actix for background jobs (invoicing, AI predictions) to avoid blocking the UI.
Cold Storage Hacks: Moved audit logs to S3 + Lambda (saved $12K/month vs. DynamoDB).
