We're doing a launch at Requestly next week, and I'm looking for some help in using this platform efficiently. Thoughts?

Engineers on Product Hunt prior to a launch typically engage in tasks such as finalizing the product's code, conducting thorough testing and quality assurance, optimizing performance, ensuring scalability to handle user traffic, and collaborating with the product team to address any last-minute technical issues or enhancements.

Generally preparing for the launch testing all user flows properly, ensuring scalability to handle any spikes in traffic, brainstorming with the product team to check cta's are at proper flow to get the most out of the launch are few things that should be in the checklist

Apart from making sure the product is working fine as expected engineers can also take up the following: 1. Preparation for Traffic Surge: Anticipate a surge in traffic if your product gains traction on Product Hunt. This means ensuring that your servers can handle the increased load, setting up monitoring tools, and possibly having contingency plans in place. 2. Gather Feedback: Prior to the official launch, gather feedback from friends, colleagues, or beta testers. This feedback can be invaluable in making last-minute tweaks or improvements. 3. Integration with Product Hunt's API: If relevant, integrate with Product Hunt's API to showcase real-time upvotes, comments, or other relevant metrics on your site or within your product. 4. Set Up Analytics: Ensure that tracking and analytics are set up correctly. This will help you understand user behaviour, sources of traffic, and other vital metrics post-launch.
