Why is it so hard to find reliable help for building decentralized apps?
Why is it so hard to find reliable help for building decentralized apps?

It feels like everyone has a product idea but getting it to work reliably is a different story. I keep seeing projects struggle with performance and constant outages. It makes me wonder if teams are overlooking the backend basics. Have you found that finding an experienced partner for the actual technical heavy lifting is the biggest hurdle for new teams?

There's a common misconception that when a dApp crashes under heavy load, it's because the blockchain failed.

We spend so much time debating Rust vs. Solidity, but the things that actually melt down during traffic spikes are the APIs, the indexing layers, the load balancers, and the bridge listeners. The "glue" connecting the user to the chain.

For the backend and infrastructure devs here: What is the most fragile piece of coordination in your stack? Is it keeping your off-chain database perfectly synced with on-chain state during a reorg? Managing WebSocket connections? I want to hear about the edge cases that didn't show up in testing but completely broke your architecture under load.
