From Zero to Production Faster Than Your Average Meeting with Pillars
summary
A Scala library that wires observability, DB, HTTP client, feature flags and admin endpoints so you write only business logic. Pillars integrates Tapir + http4s, OpenTelemetry-style traces, Scribe logs, DB access via Skunk (or alternate), DB migrations, Redis and RabbitMQ adapters, and Kubernetes liveness/readiness probes. Live demo builds and deploys a site-checker service in about four hours using the Mason project generator, FS2 streams for recurring tasks, and a Signals-backed telemetry stack; two Ledger services run it in production.
