Wedcompany

Web Platform

Wedcompany is a leading web platform for wedding registries in Argentina.

Together with Wedcompany, we assessed a legacy Java implementation and decided to re-implement the whole solution from scratch. We leveraged the existing data and put the new solution in production with no downtime.

We did so in Ruby on Rails, using test-driven development, fully automated builds and continuous integration and deployments.

The new solution is more robust, six times faster, and easier to manage. The new codebase is more flexible and empowers Wedcompany to incorporate changes at the speed of the business.

Technologies we used: Ruby/Rails, HTML/SCSS, jQuery, RSpec, Heroku, Integrity, Git, PostgreSQL, Linux.
