# Christoph Eicke
Engineering Manager at Statista tackling authentication challenges and production bottlenecks.

## About

Christoph Eicke builds and scales engineering systems at Statista. He cares about the messy realities of production, digging into what happens when major architectural shifts go wrong.

He speaks openly about system failures and performance bottlenecks. In a recent talk on IP authentication, he broke down a rollout that triggered over 30,000 errors an hour—proving how cookieless crawlers and old clients can quietly tank system stability.
