Re:Elixir-lang.org has a new design on Saturday July 18, 2026 @01:22PM (#48960102)
Also interested in hearing about this! I built an elixir k8s control plane recently and kept expecting to reach for it but it never really made sense when it was controlling golang daemonsets.

My usecase is less independent though, that control plane is orchestrating like Lambda/fly.io style workloads on top of firecracker: https://jomcgi.dev/ember

I have a web ui for managing / interacting with opencode sessions. Everything runs as a pod in my homelab cluster so I can let them "bypass" permissions and just restrict the pods.

I wanted something like Claude code web with access to more models / local LLMs / my monorepo tooling, so far it's been great.

The output is a PR so it's hard for it to break anything.

The biggest benefit is probably that it makes it easier to start stuff when I'm out - feels like a much better use of downtime like I'm not waiting to get home to start a session after I have an idea.

The monorepo tooling is a bit win too, for a bunch of things I just have 1 way to do it and clear instructions for them to use the binaries that get bundled into new sessions so it gets things "right" more often.

A tool for K8S operators that replaces brittle imperative reconciliation code with type-safe state machines generated from declarative YAML definitions. It also bundles error handling / logging / metrics / traces for state transitions.

Not sure if I'm missing a better tool but trying to keep a good working mental model of this has been a nightmare for the operators I've maintained.
