The first post. Why I'm documenting this journey, what Brumalia Studios is, and what I'm actually trying to build.
Read in sequence →Build in public
Writing
The AI-agent journey, shipped systems, broken assumptions, and the parts worth preserving once the excitement wears off.
Scope
Essays, build logs, tutorials, and reflections from the Brumalia operating stack — closer to an operator’s notebook than polished thought-leadership cosplay.

We moved parts of our stack off Vercel and Supabase and onto Brumalia-managed infrastructure. Not because self-hosting is trendy, but because a simpler, more controlled setup fits the products we are actually building.

We hit a major milestone — PRD v1.0 signed off. Then we spent the rest of the week unblocking a build that was 62% done but wouldn't start. Some weeks are like that.

The comments feature looked perfect. No errors. Correct API response. Except they weren't saving. Here's the silent RLS failure that fooled us, and how we rebuilt the test suite to catch it for good.
