Building a Firecracker VM Orchestrator in Go - Part 2: API Server
Designing a transport-agnostic API server for Flames, how steering AI on architecture decisions around service layers, idempotency, and persistence tiers shaped the final design.
Writing about engineering, AI-assisted coding, and the craft of building software.
Designing a transport-agnostic API server for Flames, how steering AI on architecture decisions around service layers, idempotency, and persistence tiers shaped the final design.
The first post in a series documenting the build-out of Flames, an open-source Firecracker + Jailer VM orchestrator, using Spec-Driven Development with ContextPin and Claude Code.
AI can handle scope. The real challenge is how that scope is defined, structured, and kept aligned as the project grows. That is where spec-driven development comes in.
