We use Elixir, Go, C++ for backend and JS, Java / Kotlin, C# for frontend. We also use Postgresql, Rabbitmq and Redis.

How are you managing deployment of these many technologies? What does your CI/CD workflow like?

Rails monolith, jQuery for some user interaction (new features are starting to use Vue.js). Hosting on Linode. Capistrano for deployments.

Nothing special, but it gets the job done.

Thanks for your work on the ec2 AMIs.

Just deployed a lambda script that spins up a FreeBSD ec2 image that checks out, compiles, and runs the contents of a dynamically provided git url, with dynamically specified pkg and pip dependencies to make my own long-running FreeBSD-based lambda-esque service for some continuous deployment.

Wouldn’t have been possible without the ec2 images and the configinit magic.

Awesome! Have you considered writing something about this setup? I'm sure a lot of people would be interested in hearing more.
