This website runs on a custom Rust web server β written from scratch for this specific workload because nothing off the shelf quite fit. Behind it: a database layer that can link any two data types without hand-written SQL, Redis for sessions and caching, TimescaleDB for long-term analytics, and a Kubernetes cluster that scales each layer independently based on actual traffic. Faster than the Python version it replaced. Worth it.
We are also 100% clean with no trackers or ads of any type. Read our privacy policy at pafera.com/about/privacy.html.
