SalesRobot lost 32% of MRR in three weeks after a backend failure, then spent three months and about six figures rebuilding infrastructure. The company now exceeds $1M ARR, but a three-year customer lost during the incident never returned. The case shows how concealing a failure can turn an outage into trust and renewal losses.

Short excerpt

In early 2025 our backend fell apart. MRR dropped 32% in 3 weeks.

The author said migrating to new infrastructure took three months and cost about six figures. The company now exceeds $1M ARR, but a long-term customer from that period ultimately churned.

Revenue clues

  • A backend failure in early 2025 caused MRR to fall 32% in three weeks. Migration to new infrastructure took three months and cost about six figures; the company now exceeds $1M ARR, and related customer losses were reported.
  • The post focused on infrastructure and customer-renewal trust and did not disclose the specific acquisition channels before or after the incident.
