All Chat Applications
summary
A working Elixir chat app is built: a supervised Raxx/Plug web server using process groups for room broadcasts, streaming HTTP responses, and an OTP supervision tree. Deployment uses Docker images, Docker Compose locally and Docker Cloud to run three nodes with auto-redeploy and exposed ports (8080 app, 4001 introspection). Service discovery relies on Docker Cloud DNS or libcluster-style gossip; tests run as a separate surface testing suite that hits the HTTP API, logs aggregate for debugging. Notes: avoid Alpine for debugging, prefer env vars over baked-in config.
