Why it works
The story leads with concrete, specific numbers: database size down 4x, 25 ms query times, 0.3 ms insertion rate, and operation on minimal hardware. These figures are attributable directly to Palas and give the piece credibility. The before-state is described clearly enough to understand the problem, though the narrative is brief and thin on mechanism detail.
Steal this
Listing performance gains as a tight, scannable bullet set with before-and-after figures for each dimension (size, query time, insertion rate, resource footprint) makes results immediately comparable and credible.
