Markdown, by Studio b. · Field notes from real operations
MARKDOWN.md

For operators and technical founders running real operations.

War stories from inside the work — both the client engagements and the products we ship. We write about the architectural decisions we regret, the vendors we replaced, and the things that held. Bolt, AcuOps, and Amplify run real operations at Studio b.'s portfolio companies. The newsletter is downstream of that work.

// What Studio b. ships

Three products. All running in production.

Bolt

Continuous-goods WMS for distributors who sell by the foot, yard, or kilogram. The things generic WMS counts wrong: container tracking, partial-cut inventory, DRP, ATP. Running at Heritage Fabrics in production.

AcuOps

Acumatica DevOps platform. Health probes, post-publish test suite, CI/CD through the Customization API. The infrastructure layer Acumatica doesn't ship. VAR-facing.
