Adaptation ideas
What to apply to your own product
- Idea: provide a hosted control plane while retaining the standalone deployment model.
- Idea: add a domain-specific SDK starter around the API client.
Tradeoff to consider
A standalone backend is simple to deploy but places scaling, operations, and upgrades closer to the adopter.
Starting route
Run the standalone example, then call one API SDK client operation.
