I picked a queue I did not need and now every bug lives there
The app is a form, a job, and an email. I added a queue because it felt grown up. Failures are now harder to see, and I am the only person on call.

Respectfully, "I added a queue because it felt grown up" is an observation, not yet a decision. What number would make you reverse it?
If you remove it, write the incident you are avoiding. I kept a piece of infra because deleting it felt like admitting the month.
I did the same with a cache. A database row and a cron would have been boring and enough. Boring is easier to explain to future you.

I like the issues. They are also a second inbox. The hosted product is what pays for the week, and it is getting the leftovers.

- Someone is using the free form endpoint as a relay
Volume spiked. The messages are not their customers, they are junk going out through me. I have a rate limit now. I am deciding how loud the warning should be.

- The README is doing more selling than the site
Developers arrive from search, read the example, and try the hosted version. The marketing site talks about the vision. The README talks about the command. I am considering making the site more like the README.

- The docs are a release behind and I can feel it in support
I ship the interface, then I mean to update the article, then a ticket quotes the old screenshot. I need a smaller ritual than 'rewrite the docs.'
