ROR

ROR

Ruby on Rails (ROR) is Fidenz’s primary framework for web application development. Years of expertise enables Fidenz to deliver successful projects via ROR. Our engineers use a fine set of gems to build applications that provide reliability, scalability, easy maintenance, and delivery in complex web solutions. Fidenz has done many ROR based integrations using open standards. We have shared our knowledge of ROR and other platforms by contributing to many open source projects. Our expertise enables us to integrate ROR based custom applications with many different services to deliver the right functionality for products. Over the years, we have deployed our applications to many different hosting environments reliably.

Fidenz History with Ruby on Rails

Fidenz History with Ruby on Rails

We have been developing apps using Ruby on Rails since 2013. Before ROR, we have used .Net and PHP for backend scripting that were beneficial for web development.

Best practices and discipline surrounding Ruby on Rails convinced us of its superiority. Coding conventions, strict Object-Oriented Programming Model, use of ORM, and availability of finely crafted gems (modules for Ruby) encourage our engineering team to learn and master the language, so to rely on ROR for any future projects.

The team spent three to six months on the technology to come up to speed with it. Our experience with various languages and technologies helped us understand the fundamentals easily and to become productive quickly.

Ruby on Rails Development

Ruby on Rails Development

Ruby on Rails (ROR) is our preferred language and framework for all our web application developments. Over the last seven years, we have delivered solutions for e-commerce, mobile application backend (iOS & Android), admin portals, content management systems, and forums using ROR. Our unique project delivery process complements the successful delivery of solutions using ROR. You could find more details of such solutions on our portfolio page.

Our preferred online store engine is SpreeCommerce. Our technical know-how with Ruby on Rails and familiarity with SpreeCommerce lead us to become one of the few technology partners of SpreeCommerce. As their partners, we could work on their Wombat Platform to connect different e-commerce related SaaS platforms.

As part of the development related to Wombat, we have the ability to work with globally renowned platforms such as Xero and TradeGecko to develop integrations between such systems and Wombat.

Open Source with Ruby on Rails

As part of the partnership with SpreeCommerce, we have done some open source integration that gave us the opportunity to understand the architecture of Wombat, SpreeCommerce, and other third-party platforms.

Developed a gem to synchronize data between SpreeCommerce(Wombat) and Xero Accounting SaaS platform

Gem development to synchronize data between SpreeCommerce(Wombat) and TradeGecko

This gem provides an easier solution to search engine optimization(SEO) in a rails project. This will give you the seo capabilities to your static pages and dynamic pages alike with few lines of code

Third-Party Integration

Third-Party Integration

NetSuit
This is an integration module to connect any admin portal or CMS with the IBM Netsuite Platform. This integration enables the authentication of users, user profile management, membership management, and all types of payment processing.
Moodle
The integration module to connect Moodel (open-source learning platform) with any admin portal or CMS allows user management, single-sign-on (SSO), and synchronization of course details between Moodle and external applications.
AWS S3
For the platforms we develop, our choice of object storage is AWS S3. We have been using S3 for many years, and we seamlessly integrate S3 for secure and reliable object storage.
Elasticsearch
We integrate Elasticsearch with the RoR application for data indexing, which facilitates super-fast searching & filtering over large volumes of data. Also, Logstash & Kibana are used respectively for ingesting logs and analyzing log data when RoR applications produce valuable log data at a high rate.
Firebase
Notifications wake up mobile devices. Different platforms have sprung up to handle such complex native notification capabilities of iOS and Android. To integrate these platforms, we use Firebase.
Payment gateways
Most web portals require payment gateways integrated into the website. We are experienced in working with multiple payment gateways, catering to customer desires. Considering the volume, average transaction size, and type of targeted customers, we work with our clients to decide on the most suitable payment gateway for their business. We have integrated different offerings from various payment gateway providers such as Stripe, PayPal, Authorize.net and FirstData to give the best ROI for our clients.

Ruby on Rails Toolbox

Ruby on Rails Toolbox

Over the years of Ruby on Rails usage, we have come to like a selected set of gems. These could be reliably used in any solution we develop. We have used these gems multiple times, and we dig deep into codebases to be efficient and well-versed in these.
