On Building Systems
summary
Covers concrete system work: builds an OTP release with Elixir + Distillery, produces a multi-stage Docker image and pushes it via Google Cloud Build on branch/tag, deploys to Kubernetes with ksonnet and Kubernetes StatefulSet clustering using libcluster for node mesh, instruments with Prometheus and Grafana (dashboards imported) — setup takes ~30–40 minutes — and enforces CI gates (tests, 80% coverage goal, auto-format, automated dependency PRs). Demonstrates the Firestorm forum running end-to-end with Absinthe GraphQL and Elm clients.
