Gerhard Lazu, Jerod Santo, and Adam Stacoviak run their first Kaizen session after the live Pipely launch in Denver. The episode is a structured post-mortem: what broke, what held, and what the numbers actually show. Cache hit/miss ratios get examined, Pipely goes through a dedicated speed test, and the team pulls in ClickHouse data to back their conclusions.
The Denver launch is the anchor, but the conversation earns its runtime. The discussion on open video standards is not filler. It connects to real infrastructure decisions the team is navigating. The homelab network benchmark referenced in the show notes, a setup claimed to outperform NVMe, gives context for why the speed test results matter beyond a single product demo.
The next in-person gathering is being planned, which means decisions made in this episode will shape what gets built and tested publicly. If you care how small technical teams instrument their own stack, pressure-test live launches, and iterate in the open, this episode is the primary source, not a summary.
