Cocktail Masterclass with Ruby and Friends

on YouTube ↗29m

" summary

Project is a Raspberry Pi cocktail robot called Ruby Mixologist that combines a Rails UI, YAML drink recipes, peristaltic pumps driven by relays, and a Kubernetes edge setup using K3S/K3sup with Kafka messaging via Racecar and DeliveryBoy. UI claims 134 cocktails sold and $1,500 revenue. Demo succeeds in pouring gin and tonic but is flaky: Kafka/network timeouts and threading bugs cause wrong pours (gin mixed with whiskey), ice and bitters remain manual, and automation needs calibration of flow rates and pumps.
