Write-time is the honeymoon phase for a test; it’s when it’s being cared for the most. Unfortunately, it’s all downhill from there. They will never see the same treatment again, not even from their own creator.
This struck a chord (and made me laugh out loud 
). Nice write-up!

Ah tests, I always kept it in the back burner. But I kept reminding myself to at least give an effort on tests.
Nice writeup!

I have published an article with an extensive overview of Papercups, a feature-rich open source customer service platform with real-time chat capabilities.
Papercups is built with Elixir, Phoenix, Oban stack.
The article covers:
High-level architecture of the platform & the main data model
Handling communication with customers across 7 channels in a uniformed way and figure out to which ongoing conversation it belongs
How to receive emails via AWS SES- How to sync emails from GMail
How to receive SMS via Twilio- Embedded Chat Capabilities via Phoenix Channels & Presence
Usage of Slack/Mattermost as reply channels
Webhook and Lambda Function functionality to extend the existing functionality- Advanced browser session tracking and reply
Reporting, analytics, billing strategy
Papercups is an excellent example of how to build a SaaS platform in a radically simple way.

Nice write up! @roma-glushko did you work on Papercups or only studied from the outside?
I really enjoyed the commentaries you made on certain decisions made (the colorful call outs).
Thanks for sharing!

@rhcarvalho Hey Rodolfo 
Appreciate you give it a look!
did you work on Papercups or only studied from the outside?
Haha, no I have no affiliations with Papercups.
I had one side gig a few months ago where I needed to think about embedded chat functionality. Papercups gave me a great example of that functionality to learn from. So I decided to dive deeper and review the whole project and codebase as a part of some series I’m doing around reviewing different open source applications and their architectures.
I would say that, besides the article itself, the biggest thing I have discovered is Elixir. Before the overview, I had absolutely zero Elixir experience and had to ramp up as I was working on the review. Elixir turned out to be very elegant and readable language. It’s absolutely amazing how much Elixir/Phoenix can give you with so little effort. I have not seen that before with my prior experience in Python, Golang, Rust, JS/TS (JS ecosystem might be the closest I have seen to this but still it’s not the same).
