Project Summary

RubyGarage acted as an external engineering partner for an events analytics startup, providing core platform development, customization, QA, design, and project management while the client scaled their in-house team. They supported architecture and an AWS migration, implemented elastic search for large datasets, and provided flexible on-demand engineering resources. The client praises the team's availability, responsiveness, and ability to onboard engineers quickly.

Key Challenges

  • Delivering core development, customization, strategy, design, and implementation support as an external partner
  • Building a complex platform that calculates positional data and generates reports from large datasets
  • Adapting the product and roadmap to shifting commercial models and tight client budgets
  • Improving development rigor, estimation accuracy, and quality assurance as the product evolved

Project Deliverables

  • Core event analytics platform (MVP)
  • Elastic search functionality handling ~0.5 TB of data
  • Reporting and positional data calculation features
  • AWS migration and cloud architecture
  • Ongoing developer resources and QA support

Project Solution

RubyGarage provided design, QA, project management, and development services for the client's event analytics platform. They delivered the core platform and MVP, implemented elastic search functionality, assisted with architecture changes, and migrated services from IBM Catalyst to Amazon Web Services in under a month. The vendor supplied elastic, on-demand engineering resources (scaling teams up or down within weeks) and adapted to the client's project-management tools and processes.

Project Outcome

  • The initial MVP was delivered within roughly 10 weeks and completed in March 2014
  • Engineers from RubyGarage became productive within one month of joining
  • Elastic search functionality supports approximately 0.5 TB of data in the client's clusters
  • New engineering resources are added within 2–3 weeks of request
  • Migration to Amazon Web Services completed in under a month
