Realistically how much longer would it take to migrate databases later when you have user data vs doing it right now? If it's an extra week or two but the current database will last you another 3-6 months before you run into limitations then I'd say just launch asap and deal with migration later.
That's the main problem - I have no idea who much it will take later and how hard it will be. But if I will migrate right now, it will take about a day or two, but also it is kinda a work that I'm not really excited - I will have to rewrite all my code using promises...
I think yea, I will just launch with the database I use right now and we will see how it will go :)
Without knowing much about your product.. If the users friends aren't likely to be leads consider some kind of basic "recommend this person" feature and then make it clear that sharing your page is an important way to build up your recommendations and look better to prospective leads. Maybe in order to recommend someone it's just lightweight social auth, but then you can lead the recommender through the process of setting up their own page if they are interested and try to create a nice feedback loop there.
Yeah that's probably the right choice. When in doubt I try to err towards just getting the damn thing out :)
