A Blueprint for Intuitive Internal Elixir Ecosystems
summary
Blueprint shows a concrete pipeline: a custom mix generator (packaged as an archive) that creates projects with company boilerplate and publishes packages and ExDocs to a private registry, using a self-hosted yourepo (or Hex private service) and standard mix hex.publish flows. It wires docs into a hosted livebook import endpoint so a doc badge opens an interactive notebook, and it works in practice at large orgs like Spotify while keeping semver and CI integration via mix archive.install.
