Python Teckweez Terminal Game
An engaging terminal game where players navigate through challenges and solve quizzes using Python programming concepts.
Overview
A battle-tested template for starting microservices projects with all the infrastructure concerns already solved.
Technology Stack
The Problem
Every new microservices project at our company started from scratch, re-solving the same problems: auth, logging, tracing, deployment. This wasted 2-3 weeks per project.
The Approach
Extracted common patterns from 5 production systems into a reusable template with sensible defaults and easy customization.
The Solution
A CLI tool that scaffolds new services with authentication, observability, and deployment configurations ready to go.
Technical Implementation
Pre-configured OpenTelemetry for distributed tracing. JWT-based auth with refresh token rotation. Kubernetes manifests with Helm charts. GitHub Actions for CI/CD. Prometheus metrics and Grafana dashboards included.
