Overall: 
GA finalised on the day it was submitted, so AOK there, and far more than long enough, a very comprehensive work-up on the topic. Lots of referencing, fine citation in general, as you'd expect from a piece that made it through GA review in quick time - BUT the two paragraphs, added in response to a GA review point, of Synopsis, are uncited - I'm sure this can be quickly fixed. No past DYK found, no copyvio (a couple of 10.x%s relate to company and game names). Hook citations as required on the first two, with the third being in a sentence structure that needed a tiny copyedit and merge anyway. Alt 0 is solid though unexciting - 4 years sounds long to a lay audience, as does the growth from 4 to 120+, but neither is actually so exceptional. Alt1 is interesting to those who know IT / software development, but the average reader might go "what's middleware" or "is use of 5 middlewares unusual" (it is, but...)? Alt2 is solid for interest, but probably we need an Alt2a with a comma after "audience". So, a fine article, at least one hook potential (I would approve both Alt0 and Alt2), but that citation fix needed, and if any more hooks can be found, great. SeoR (talk) 00:44, 11 April 2023 (UTC)
- @SeoR: Can't find much more hooks, though they're not needed if your fine approving them. By the way, the synopsis doesn't need citations per MOS:PLOTCITE. Onegreatjoke (talk) 13:47, 27 April 2023 (UTC)
- Meant to say MOS:PLOTSOURCE Onegreatjoke (talk) 13:48, 27 April 2023 (UTC)
- Thanks Onegreatjoke, sorry to understand you're having access issues, and noted re. PLOTSOURCE (while citations are still preferred, having read through supplementary rules, I don't see a blocking factor here). I'm sorting that comma with Alt2a, and approving.
