Project Summary

JetRuby Agency has been building a web application for an industrial IoT company since August 2019, providing front- and backend development, UX/UI design, systems engineering, and architecture decomposition. They integrated the app with existing Python-based microservices, used Vue.js on the frontend (planning a transition to React.js), and implemented the backend in Ruby on Rails. The vendor provided a business analyst and project management through Azure DevOps and continues to support staging and maintenance.

Key Challenges

Build a web application that combines outputs of existing microservices with user stories
Provide systems engineering from user-story decomposition through UX/UI prototypes to implementation
Manage iterative changes and transition frontend technology (legacy Vue.js to React.js)

Project Deliverables

Web application frontend
Backend implemented in Ruby on Rails
Integration with existing Python microservices
UX/UI design prototypes and walkthroughs
Architecture decomposition and systems engineering
Deployment to staging server

Project Solution

The vendor implemented the full web application: front- and backend development, UX/UI design prototypes, systems engineering and architecture decomposition. They integrated the application with the client's existing Python microservices, developed the frontend (working in Vue.js with a planned migration to React.js) and the backend in Ruby on Rails, and deployed artifacts to a staging environment. They also provided a business analyst to decompose user stories and drive workflow design and managed releases via Azure DevOps.

Project Outcome

Progress on core user flows across five personas with tracked completion metrics
Improved development velocity after adding a business analyst
Responsive delivery of sprint commitments and openness to change requests
Established toolchain and workflows (Azure DevOps, Miro, Figma/Sigma, InVision) to move features into staging
