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

Presenter: Patrick Leonard

Abstract

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
