Project Summary

Rubyroid Labs built the backend, APIs, and an administration panel for a mobile app product (a business solution for moving companies) using Ruby on Rails. The team delivered a documented specification, followed test-driven development practices, and completed a first iteration (MVP) between May and August 2018. The client praised the code quality, documentation, and communication.

Key Challenges

Need for a high-quality backend for the client's mobile products
Decision between multiple backend technologies (Java, PHP, Ruby on Rails)
Client lacked internal backend expertise and required a reliable external team

Project Deliverables

Backend for mobile app (business solution for moving companies)
REST APIs for mobile applications
Administration panel for orders and management
Technical specification document for backend development
Time and cost estimation (~2,000 hours)

Project Solution

The vendor built the backend and API for a mobile application and developed an administration panel to manage orders and related data. They produced a detailed specification document based on the client's mobile-app descriptions, estimated the work (around 2,000 hours), and implemented the backend using Ruby on Rails to enable fast development and future scalability. They followed test-driven development practices and provided ongoing communication via a project manager.

Project Outcome

The MVP (first iteration) was completed and is planned for launch
No serious bugs were reported; the CTO reviewed code biweekly with no major issues
Test-driven development reduced serious bugs during development and at final stage
