Build reusable Terraform modules for AWS, Azure, and GCP infrastructure following infrastructure-as-code best practices. Use when creating infrastructure modules, standardizing cloud provisioning, or implementing reusable IaC components.
Wire a service's OpenTelemetry output to Sematext Cloud. Walks through region, App-type, instrumentation flow (managed OTLP endpoint vs Sematext Agent), and signal selection (traces/metrics/logs), then produces the exact env-var block and points at a runnable reference example in this repo. Invoke when instrumenting a new app for Sematext.
Deployment workflows, CI/CD pipeline patterns, Docker containerization, health checks, rollback strategies, and production readiness checklists for web applications. Use when setting up deployment infrastructure or planning releases.
Watch a pull request or review cycle until it is ready to merge. Use when asked to babysit, monitor, or keep checking PR comments, reviews, and CI until all actionable issues are resolved.
Interact with the Paperclip control plane API for task coordination and governance. Use when checking assignments, updating issue status, posting comments, delegating work, managing routines, or calling Paperclip API endpoints.
