Why does that matter?

You’re likely in one of two situations as a businesss:

* You’re a struggling startup. Development velocity trumps literally everything. Your server costs are trivial, just turn them up.

* You’re a successful business (maybe in part because you moved fast with Ruby), you can pay down the debt on that absurdly large response. Chunk it, paginate it, remove unnecessary attributes.



1MB is "absurdly large"? This is not the Todo app industry sorry.

This is paginated (page size of 1000) and the caller chooses only the attribute they need already, thanks.

Even successful companies care whether they need to run 1000 servers or one for something.
