We've however broken up the monolith and decoupled the front-end application from the backend thanks to the use of Rails API so we'd get independently scalable micro-services from now on. The first enabler to this was to make use of the cloud and go with AWS, so we would stop re-inventing the wheel, and build around managed/scalable services.įor the SaaS product, we kept on working with Rails as this was what my team had the most knowledge in. I had inherited years and years of technical debt and I knew things had to change radically. The company also does provide Data APIs to Enterprise customers.
