Should you soft launch on Product Hunt or go all-in on your first try?

I'm planning my Product Hunt launch and getting conflicting advice. Some people say to do a soft launch first to test the waters, get initial feedback, and learn the platform. Others say you only get one shot at the spotlight, so you should wait until everything is perfect and go all-in.

The soft launch camp argues you can iterate based on feedback and launch again later with a better strategy. The all-in camp says featured products get 90% of the attention, and if you don't get featured on your main launch, you've basically wasted your shot.

What platform do you use to show KPI data?

Hi all, I've just developed a voice application for Amazon Alexa and Google Assistant and I would like to track user data from it. This is a trivia game so I would like to know how many matches user has made daily, how many questions have been answered and so on. What online service do you use? I would like to find a service that allows me to send data via API or via an exposed JSON and then I can configure the service's dashboard displaying data. A friend suggested me to combine Elasticsearch with Grafana. What do you use?
