A Champagne Problem refers to challenges that arise from the successful scaling or growth of a system or project. These issues typically emerge when a project experiences rapid success, such as needing to expand infrastructure due to unexpected demand or handling an overwhelming number of feature requests from a growing user base.

For example, scaling databases or servers to manage increased traffic is a common Champagne Problem. Despite the challenges, these situations are seen as positive because they signify that the product or service is being used and appreciated.

In essence, a Champagne Problem carries a sense of luxury—it’s a good problem to have because it indicates that the project is flourishing, even if it comes with its own set of difficulties.

At least it's a lot better than going bankrupt, right?
