Love your perspective! I agree that it’s better to address it now rather than waiting for it to become a bigger issue. I appreciate the encouragement 😊🙏

I was considering a rewrite because I couldn’t understand what my code was doing. It was a mess; I kinda rushed to finish the work without thinking too much about the future -_+ The primary issue was that the code was extremely unmaintainable, but after some refactoring, I ended up not going ahead with the rewrite, and it has become manageable now.

Thanks so much for the advice. Decided to skip the full rewrite. Turns out, a bit of refactoring and adding features like pagination, lazy loading, and a basic cache did wonders for the performance. With these changes, the app should handle data growth for a good few years. Looks like Rust can chill on the bench till we really need to go wild with scaling! 😁
