PreGrab

PreGrab is a venture that wants to tap into the pre-owned products market. We have kicked off from being a market-place for dealers of pre-owned products and will be primarily focusing on the needs of the buyers of these products. Once having established ourselves in our core business competencies, we aim to expand into B2B and C2C avenues. The problem we aim to solve is of the lack of reliability and visibility of these products from a buyer’s viewpoint. All the present arrangements in the market (online and offline) fail to provide these deliverables leaving the market highly untapped and the core problem unsolved.

- Building Topmate to offer seamless tools to help the creator economy thrive.  

- Consistently delivering exceptional results, thanks to my strong work ethic.

- Working at Schlumberger in Iraq has been my career highlight (a memory that will never fade).

About me personally? I can drive all day, with my favorite destinations being Europe and Switzerland.

The last three months have quietly been the most defining months for Topmate.

Not because of a big launch.
Not because of a viral moment.

But because something shifted in how we built, shipped, and listened.
We stopped chasing surface-level growth.
We doubled down on one thing - serving creators deeply.
And that decision changed everything.

For the past 3 months, we’ve hit our strongest performance ever across:
- GMV
- Net revenue
- Repeat bookings
- Creator earnings
- Activation & retention

And yes - this growth has now made Topmate profitable for three straight months.

A small line to write, but a massive milestone for us.
No shortcuts.
No burn-heavy tactics.

Just creators who believed in us and a team that never stopped shipping.
As a founder, this phase has been the most rewarding.

It tells me the product is working, the model is solid, and the value is real.
To every creator who trusted us with their knowledge - thank you.
To our team - you made the last 90 days special.

Profitability isn’t the finish line.
It’s the foundation.

The next chapter: more AI, better product, and even stronger growth for creators globally.
Onwards. 🚀

Everyone suddenly works at Cloudflare now after the 18 Nov outage (me included 😄)

On 18 Nov 2025, Cloudflare faced a global outage - and the interesting part is:
 👉 it wasn’t a cyber attack
 👉 it wasn’t a DDoS
 👉 it wasn’t hardware failure

It happened because of a small configuration change that triggered a chain reaction.

𝗟𝗲𝘁 𝗺𝗲 𝘁𝗿𝘆 𝘁𝗼 𝗲𝘅𝗽𝗹𝗮𝗶𝗻 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗥𝗼𝗼𝘁 𝗖𝗮𝘂𝘀𝗲 𝗶𝗻 𝗺𝗼𝘀𝘁 𝘀𝗶𝗺𝗽𝗹𝗲𝗿 𝘄𝗮𝘆 -

Cloudflare uses a ClickHouse database with 𝘁𝘄𝗼 schemas:
𝗱𝗲𝗳𝗮𝘂𝗹𝘁 → main production data
𝗿𝟬 → internal metadata / backup tables

Before the change, the system could only read from the default schema.
So a query like 👇

𝙎𝙀𝙇𝙀𝘾𝙏 * 

𝙁𝙍𝙊𝙈 𝙨𝙮𝙨𝙩𝙚𝙢.𝙘𝙤𝙡𝙪𝙢𝙣𝙨 

𝙒𝙃𝙀𝙍𝙀 𝙩𝙖𝙗𝙡𝙚 = '𝙝𝙩𝙩𝙥_𝙧𝙚𝙦𝙪𝙚𝙨𝙩𝙨_𝙛𝙚𝙖𝙩𝙪𝙧𝙚𝙨';

returned only this:

𝗦𝗰𝗵𝗲𝗺𝗮               𝗖𝗼𝗹𝘂𝗺𝗻
-----------------------------
default                ip_address
default                user_agent
default                country

🔧 The Change
Engineers updated permissions:

𝐆𝐑𝐀𝐍𝐓 𝐒𝐄𝐋𝐄𝐂𝐓 𝐎𝐍 𝐫𝟎.* 𝐓𝐎 𝐛𝐨𝐭_𝐟𝐞𝐚𝐭𝐮𝐫𝐞_𝐠𝐞𝐧𝐞𝐫𝐚𝐭𝐨𝐫;

Meaning:
➡️ “Now the system can also access r0.”

This was likely intentional - maybe for migration or diagnostics.

⚠️ The Hidden Bug

The query didn’t filter by schema.

𝐓𝐡𝐞 𝐚𝐜𝐭𝐮𝐚𝐥 𝐪𝐮𝐞𝐫𝐲 𝐰𝐚𝐬:
-------------------------

SELECT name 
FROM system.columns
WHERE table = 'http_requests_features'

𝐈𝐭 𝐬𝐡𝐨𝐮𝐥𝐝 𝐡𝐚𝐯𝐞 𝐛𝐞𝐞𝐧:
--------------------------

SELECT name 
FROM system.columns
WHERE table = 'http_requests_features'
𝐀𝐍𝐃 𝐝𝐚𝐭𝐚𝐛𝐚𝐬𝐞 = '𝐝𝐞𝐟𝐚𝐮𝐥𝐭';

So after permission change, the system fetched both schemas - resulting in duplicate rows.

📈 After the Change
Row count went from:

3 rows → 6 rows
Example:

ip_address(from default)
user_agent(from default)
country(from default)
𝐢𝐩_𝐚𝐝𝐝𝐫𝐞𝐬𝐬  (𝐝𝐮𝐩𝐥𝐢𝐜𝐚𝐭𝐞, from r0)
𝐮𝐬𝐞𝐫_𝐚𝐠𝐞𝐧𝐭  (𝐝𝐮𝐩𝐥𝐢𝐜𝐚𝐭𝐞, from r0)
𝐜𝐨𝐮𝐧𝐭𝐫𝐲   (𝐝𝐮𝐩𝐥𝐢𝐜𝐚𝐭𝐞, from r0)

💥 Why Did It Break?
Cloudflare's proxy engine (FL2) was designed with a limit:
➡️ Max ~200 features allowed

After duplication, the feature file exceeded that limit.
💾 Memory overflow
😰 Panic
💥 Crash
🌍 Global outage

🧩 𝐊𝐞𝐲 𝐓𝐚𝐤𝐞𝐚𝐰𝐚𝐲𝐬
✔️ Small assumptions can break large systems
 ✔️ Configuration changes must be validated
 ✔️ Queries must define clear scope (schema, filters, limits)
 ✔️ Reliability is not just about smart design - it's about preventing unexpected interactions
