Octobox
Single-purpose tool for triaging GitHub notifications into an inbox-zero-style workflow. Standout trait is doing one job (GitHub notification management) cleanly rather than sprawling into a general dashboard.

⚙ Full Stack
Ruby on Rails application backed by PostgreSQL, using Sidekiq/Redis for background syncing against the GitHub API. Clean, focused Rails codebase without the sprawl of larger multi-purpose apps in this batch.
📈 Scaling Analysis
The Rails/Postgres/Sidekiq combination scales horizontally in the conventional Rails way — more app pods and Sidekiq workers behind a shared Postgres — well beyond what its single-purpose use case actually demands. Development has slowed somewhat, which matters more for security patching cadence than for architecture.
🚀 Running on Nexlayer
Deploy an octobox app pod, a postgres pod at postgres.pod:5432, and a redis pod at redis.pod:6379 for Sidekiq, pulling base images via mirror.gcr.io. GitHub OAuth app credentials need the browser-facing <% URL %> as the callback URL, not internal pod DNS.
