Today we are launching @ObsessionDB, the realtime data warehouse for agents. Your agents are hungry for data. Feeding them is getting expensive. Your data warehouse wasn't built (or priced) for that. We learned this the hard way. We scaled our last company to petabytes on

What this launch shows

ObsessionDB posted this from an account with 322 followers and reached 82.6 times that many people. Accounts of that size usually reach 152.2 times their following.

This one did not get far past the people who already followed it. It ranks 623 of 743 launches from accounts that size. Against every launch in the directory it is below the median of 603K views, at rank 2083 of 2314.

Replies led. 59 of them, 22.2 per 10,000 views against a median of 2.5.

The post started a conversation, and the ranking model pays for conversation with reach in the hours after. Bookmarks came in at 180, reposts at 35.

The post opens with “Today we are launching @ObsessionDB, the realtime data warehouse for agents”, a first-person opening that the founder-account launches in the directory use most. It carries a 58-second video against a directory median of 66 seconds. Videos between 30 and 90 seconds have a median of 537K views in the directory.

The copy runs 46 words, about the usual length for a launch post here, where the median is 41. The body carries a link, so the post had somewhere to send the reader and paid a little reach for it.

It went out on a Tuesday. Launches posted on a Tuesday have a median of 595K views in the directory, and Friday is the strongest day at 647K.

Launching a product on X from a small account covers this: an account with 322 followers has to earn every view from outside its own following.

For the next one, read attributing signups to a launch: a save rate this high is the number to follow into the product. Giving people something to reply to is the guide for it: the conversation is what carried this one.
