Early growth rewards speed
Shipping fast matters
Iteration matters
Short term wins feel important
At that stage storage rarely feels like a priority
Scaling changes everything
Traffic increases
Expectations rise
Tolerance for failure disappears
What once felt acceptable becomes a serious risk
Walrus is designed for this shift
Instead of optimizing only for early velocity it plans for long term pressure
Data is distributed
Availability is treated as essential
Failure is assumed
This mindset does not generate excitement early
But it creates confidence later
I have seen many systems succeed quickly and struggle at scale because their foundations were not built to last
Walrus feels designed for builders who think beyond the first phase
