Looks incredible. Seems like it is really tailored to small -medium sized apps or devs doing client work. How do you deal with objections around scaling out and lock in?

I am loving the renaissance of “boring” tech stacks.



It's Rails code under the hood. We do a little bit meta-programming but try to keep things as basic as possible exactly for this reason so we don't get in the way of the parent app.

We mitigated the "tiny stupid" mistakes like n+1 with dedicated includes option. The front-end is powered by Hotwire so a very small JS bundle.

We have a few customers that are running medium-to-large applications with Avo and they are quite happy with the results. I do admit they have started to do a bit of "magic" to support their use cases, but we're in contact with them and actively extracting things to make the developer experience better and support more use-cases. One example is the tabs and panels features that we're preparing to release next.

Yup. Boring is good. It just works!
