Prototype on Dify, Ship on Celery

There’s a piece of engineering folklore that says “don’t build throwaway infrastructure.” I broke that rule on purpose, and it turned out to be one of the better calls I made across a four-year project.

The feature was an AI deal analyser for a startup-fundraising platform: drop in a pitch deck, get back a structured ten-section investment report — market, team, traction, competitive landscape, the works. The hard part on day one wasn’t the code. It was figuring out what a good report even said. That’s a product problem wearing an engineering costume, and you don’t solve it by writing Celery tasks. You solve it by iterating on prompts in front of the people who’ll read the output, as fast as you can change them.
