A cross-language structural code index, served over MCP. tree-sitter parses Go, Python and Rust into one SQLite index, so the same type spelled three ways collapses to a single lookup -- something grep cannot do, because the names genuinely differ.
Real-time multiplayer tic tac toe. Game state lives in NATS JetStream; moves stream to every player over SSE with no client-side framework.
The same game a stack earlier: a React front end over raw WebSockets or Socket.IO, picked by one env var, with Redis pub/sub fanning every move out to both tabs and holding the board.
Three JVM nodes sharing one clustered event bus. Sensors are deployed and torn down from a browser tab onto whichever node you pick; Hazelcast holds the only state, and readings stream to every open tab over SSE.
A .NET crawler that files a month of claims into a JavaScript-heavy payer portal. A Postgres table is the checkpoint, not the filing cabinet: a run that dies to a stale element or an expired session resumes where it stopped.
