Lessons from Using Bleeding Edge Tech in a Startup

on YouTube ↗29m

" summary

Pilloxa builds a smart pill box and an iOS/Android app with React Native, ClojureScript, AWS + Terraform, Postgres, Elasticsearch and Serverless; real claims: 85% shared code between platforms, Firebase for early logs then abandoned when Firebase log deletion timed out, and debug pipelines that push into Elasticsearch for aggregations. Startup moves Bluetooth handling into native modules because React Native startup latency breaks background BLE. Clojure(Script) gives stable tooling and Repl-driven fixes; Terraform delivers reproducible infra but has a learning curve.
