Supervision Trees for OSINT Pipelines: Let It Crash, Keep the Evidence
How Prismatic structures supervision trees so that a single flaky OSINT adapter never brings down a case. DynamicSupervisor, Task.Supervisor, and the one-for-one rule that saved production.
Building an Intelligence Platform with Elixir: Why We Chose the BEAM
The technical rationale behind building Prismatic Platform on Elixir/OTP: fault tolerance for 128 OSINT adapters, concurrency for parallel intelligence gathering, and the BEAM's unique properties for real-time analysis.
Self-Healing Systems: OTP Supervision in Practice
OTP supervision trees are the foundation of self-healing software. This article covers the SupervisionIntrospector, RemediationRegistry, restart strategies, cascade failure prevention, and the lessons learned system that makes the platform smarter after each fault.
GenServer Patterns for Production Systems
Battle-tested GenServer patterns covering state management, handle_continue, timeout strategies, Registry usage, and bottleneck avoidance in production Elixir systems.
Building Self-Healing OTP Supervision Trees
How Prismatic uses OTP supervision strategies, circuit breakers, and remediation registries to build systems that recover from failures automatically without human intervention.
Umbrella Applications at Scale: Managing 94 Apps
The Prismatic Platform runs 94 applications in a single umbrella project. This article covers domain boundary design, dependency management, cross-app communication, and the tooling required to keep it all working.
ETS-Backed Registries: Sub-Millisecond Access in Elixir
ETS tables provide concurrent read access with sub-millisecond latency. The Prismatic Platform uses ETS for agent registries, OSINT tool catalogs, blog articles, and glossary terms with patterns you can apply to your own projects.
ETS-Backed Registries: Sub-Millisecond Data Access in Elixir
How Prismatic uses ETS tables as high-performance registries for agents, OSINT adapters, blog articles, and platform metrics. Patterns for compile-time loading, lazy initialization, and concurrent reads.
Umbrella Architecture at Scale: Managing 94 OTP Applications
Lessons learned from building and maintaining a 94-app Elixir umbrella project. Covers dependency management, compilation strategies, testing patterns, and when umbrella architecture breaks down.
Building OSINT Adapters with Elixir: A Practical Guide
Step-by-step guide to building production-grade OSINT adapters using Elixir, OTP supervision, and the Prismatic Plugin Kit. Covers rate limiting, error recovery, and confidence scoring.
