Ruby is long known for its versatility and reliability. One of Ruby’s many use cases and something we can find in most of the projects is integration with external services via a provided API. In this case study, we’ll go through the details of a project where we built an [external API integration]({% post_url 2022-03-18-apis-integrations-definition-and-applicability %}) for a camping platform.

Even though Ruby has been our core technology since the beginning of iRonin.IT, and we built a wide portfolio full of diverse RoR web projects, as well as managed to establish an awesome team of senior Ruby developers; in 2021 we decided to take up a new challenge – diversify our tech stack. We had delivered some projects in other technologies before, such as Java and Elixir, and had relevant experts on board. However, they had been a minority in our team, portfolio, and tech stack.

We grew up with Ruby, so why did we take over a Java project?

Here’s a behind-the-scenes look at how we worked with a large retail company to build a new rendering engine for Foreman templates.

For decades, banks have been operating with the use of databases. But with the speed and breadth of technological changes in various aspects of daily life, they might have fallen behind. Perhaps it’s time for banks to look into new, more efficient solutions - such as blockchain. A monetary revolution is already happening in Barbados, where one of our client, has set up a blockchain-based payments system.

There are yet places in the world where owning a bank account is not an obvious fact of life. It’s usually due to the high costs of maintaining an infrastructure for an electronic payments system. There are also regions where 20% of a dollar’s value would be the cost of printing it. It’s obvious how such factors put an extra financial burden on the region and its citizens. Luckily, fin-tech companies that can change things have begun to appear. iRonin’s cooperation with one such company will soon begin.

Integrations can oftentimes be a challenge to implement. Every system and website is different, with a unique internal architecture, capabilities and limits. Because of this, integration might require writing separate code for each system, as was the case for one of iRonin’s clients, an employee referral system used by many companies on their unique websites.

The more you automate your software configuration tasks, the more time you save. Here’s how we used Hubot, a “virtual user” add on for HipChat and Slack, to deploy software (and more!) with ease.
