GenServer Patterns in Elixir and the Same Idea in Ruby
A token-bucket rate limiter in Elixir (GenServer) and Ruby (concurrent-ruby): same mailbox pattern, different runtime, with honest notes on threads, OS processes, and the BEAM.
Occasional notes on building and operating backend systems in Elixir and Ruby — not a high-frequency blog, but a place for ideas worth keeping.

How we engineer seamless, high-bandwidth eSIM packages by automating daily plan rotation, without the user ever noticing a swap.
A working system is not always a healthy one. On GenStage, JPEG snapshots, and why simplification is an optimization — not a downgrade.
