Michi Hoffmann :: Eating Your Own Dog Food
summary
Built a production Slack kudos app called G Potato Slack app that runs PHP back end with a Go ingestion proxy, Terraform'd infrastructure and a Tailwind UI, and uses Sentry to monitor Sentry. It ships feature testing for SDKs, performance and profiling, and surfaces incidents early; deployment sees about 36,000 potatoes given so far. Shows concrete tooling choices—Bolt, Composer, relay, Rust services—and proves dogfooding actually finds and fixes issues.
