Services Distributed systems & storage
Distributed systems & storage
Clustered backends and file/object storage that survive node loss, partial inconsistency, and hostile networks.
What it is
We design clustered Elixir/OTP backends and storage paths so the system degrades on purpose: supervision, retries, and recovery are part of the product, not an incident-doc afterthought.
The storage work is grounded in production NAS/FS lineage — including named inventorship on cluster request satisfaction when members disagree (US9298765B2) — not a greenfield lecture on CAP.
Who it is for
Teams running multi-node services, file/object storage, or multi-tenant LiveView platforms that cannot treat a crashed node as an outage.
Capabilities
- OTP supervision, partitions, and timeout budgets as design inputs
- File/object storage recovery when replicas diverge
- Multi-tenant Phoenix LiveView without noisy-neighbor surprises
- Runbooks and simulation so the next on-call is not archaeology
How we engage
- Scope what must never break, what can degrade, and what the audit trail must prove
- Build or harden under OTP — tests and gates, not a rewrite for its own sake
- Ship with CI artifacts and a recovery story operators can run
How we work
Scope the failure modes
What must never break, what can degrade, and what the audit trail needs to prove.
Build or harden
Implement with OTP supervision, tests, and measurable gates — or review and repair existing systems.
Ship with proof
CI packages, demos, and runbooks so the next engineer can own the system without archaeology.
