" summary

Kloeckner.i builds an in‑house event platform using Elixir + RabbitMQ + OTP to replace slow, synchronous workflows tied to legacy ERPs across multiple countries. Code uses macros to auto-generate exchanges, routing keys and consumer modules, plus connection pooling, retries, tracing and metrics. The platform spawns consumers dynamically from model lists, supports thousands of producers and millions of requests, reduces boilerplate, and runs in production for years while improving fault tolerance and observability with dynamic consumer generation.
