Today's brief
Ads quadrupled installs, but the backend is slipping this week (uptime 93.5% so far, memory 97%) and most new users don't come back (day-1 retention 5%).
Do today
- Check why vedastro-engine stopped and why server memory hit 97% (read-only look at its restarts/OOM)
- Watch v55 crash-free on real devices as the rollout widens (v53 has 0 real-user crashes; the rest was Play's test device)
Keep an eye on
- Uninstalls are 82% of installs, and day-1 retention fell to 5% in the ads week
- Engagement goals count in Google Ads from 8 Oct; check 30+/week around 20 Oct

A full week is frozen 3 days after it ends (AdMob / Google Ads revise late data). Ad numbers use GA4 cost (USD→₹ at 88.0) and GA4 first-user medium "cpc", which under-counts ad users. Retention = share of a week's new users active on day 1 / day 7. Small weeks (< 100 installs) are noisy.
Automatic flags
- Backend: server memory peaked at 97%. Risk of OOM kills.
- Backend: uptime 97.03% (target 99.5%).
- GA4: 181 uninstalls vs 221 installs this week (82%), +83% vs the week before.
- Backend: vedastro-engine was not active at some point in the window. Check its restarts/OOM.
