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.
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.
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.
