Project Summary

Railwaymen took over development for an EdTech platform in January 2019, fixed major Ruby on Rails backend issues and stabilized the infrastructure. They implemented backend improvements that prevented further customer loss and are now progressing with web-responsive mobile work and iOS development. Their interventions materially improved uptime and supported growth.

Key Challenges

  • Replace an underperforming third-party provider urgently.
  • Regain control over infrastructure and fix lack of documentation.
  • Stabilize a crashing platform to halt customer churn.

Project Deliverables

  • Backend (Ruby on Rails) codebase fixes
  • Infrastructure stabilization and documentation
  • Web-responsive mobile front end
  • iOS application development
  • Ongoing development and support

Project Solution

Railwaymen immediately took over the failing platform, diagnosed and fixed numerous backend issues in the Ruby on Rails codebase and stabilized the infrastructure despite poor prior documentation. They implemented infrastructure improvements that increased uptime, worked through each code problem, and progressed the project into web-responsive mobile development and iOS work. The vendor provided developers who communicate daily and added project management and design resources as needed.

Project Outcome

  • Dramatically improved uptime and infrastructure stability.
  • Doubled the platform's userbase.
  • Enabled ongoing daily communication and faster response times through Slack and available developers.
