What I shipped in my first 60 days at Mintlify

In the first 60 days at Mintlify, the author focused on addressing key challenges such as slow analytics, vulnerable AI systems, and inadequate infrastructure by implementing several innovative solutions. They developed a custom analytics platform using Kafka and ClickHouse to handle millions of events daily, significantly improving query speed and data access for both customers and internal teams. Additionally, they introduced CamelAI, an AI agent that delivers instant insights, enhancing customer support capabilities. To manage feedback effectively, an abuse checker using Gemini Flash Lite was built to filter out spam and irrelevant comments, and the insights page was migrated to the custom analytics service, resulting in a fivefold increase in speed. They also protected the AI assistant from junk inputs and potential attacks by implementing a filter system to block irrelevant or malicious prompts, thereby ensuring valuable user queries are prioritized. Lastly, work on a smarter caching system is underway to eliminate cold starts and enhance page loading speeds on Mintlify doc sites by using static caching and a custom invalidation process that differentiates between platform changes and customer deployments.
