• Preparing for Rapid Growth - Tips for Enabling Your Rails App and Team to Grow Quickly

  by Patrick Leonard

  Every young company expects to grow quickly, but is your engineering team really ready for it? In 3 years, iTriage went from a kitchen table to one of the leading mobile consumer healthcare apps with over 5 million downloads. Staying ahead of this growth didn't just mean hiring more Rails engineers.

  Patrick will discuss what iTriage did (and continues to do) to stay ahead of our growth, including:

  • Technical architecture, including use of Rails Engines to enable a modular, RESTful service-based design
  • Enabling high quality iPhone, Android and Web apps
  • Development and release management processes
  • Recruiting and hiring approaches
  • Ruby on Rails
  • Scaling

• Chanko - How Cookpad safely releases multiple feature prototypes for test segments of their 15 million engaged users

  by Kenta Murata

  Chanko provides a simple framework for rapidly and safely prototyping new features in your production Rails app, and exposing these prototypes to specified segments of your user base.

  With Chanko, you can release many concurrent features and independently manage which users see them. If there are errors with any chanko, it will be automatially removed, without impacting your site.

  Chanko was extracted from Cookpad.com where the team uses it daily to test new features live, in production, on the largest Rails site in Japan which serves 500 million page views a month to a user based of over 15 million highly engaged uses.
