Me: I could make it really easy on you, if you think Apollo is costing you $20 million per year, cut me a check for $10 million and we can both skip off into the sunset. Six months of use. We're good. That's mostly a joke.

Reddit: Six months of use? What do you mean? I know you said that was mostly a joke, but I want to take everything you're saying seriously just to make sure I'm not - what are you referring to?

Me: Okay, if Apollo's opportunity cost currently is $20 million dollars. At the 7 billion requests and API volume. If that's your yearly opportunity cost for Apollo, cut that in half, say for 6 months. Bob's your uncle.

Reddit: You cut out right at the end. I'm not asking you to repeat yourself for a third time, but you legit cut out right at the end. "If your opportunity cost is $10 million" and then I lost you.

Hi Christian,

I hope all is well!

I’m reaching out because we noticed a spike in Apollo's request rate on December 2nd. It was from approximately 14:17 to 14:23 UTC to /messages/inbox that went up by around 35% before returning to baseline. We are hoping you could help us understand what might have happened.

The source IPs were in AWS us-west-2: redacted, redacted, and redacted and had the Apollo UA server:apollo-backend:v1.0 (by /u/iamthatis) contact me@christianselig.com
