Cortex
Internal developer platform providing standardized microservices foundation. Handles multi-tenancy and authentication out-of-the-box, accelerating product launches.
The Problem
Developer velocity was blocked because every new microservice required 2 weeks to set up authentication, logging, tracking, and database isolation from scratch.
System Architecture
Cortex is a robust NestJS monorepo module that auto-injects PostgreSQL RLS rules, Pino logging, and JWT authentication middleware across hundreds of distinct services on boot.

Technical Challenges & Trade-offs
Abstracting the tenant-ID from thousands of concurrent varying REST and gRPC requests down to the Prisma/Postgres layer safely in an ephemeral context.
Business Impact & Metrics
Accelerated company-wide product launch times by 3x by providing a 'batteries-included' internal developer platform.
