A year after speaking at Ruby Ireland about building a proof-of-concept Ruby-on-Rails app for a big corporate client. It went so well that they commissioned a full product build. Having recently completed the full project - and a casestudy - we wanted to come back to Ruby Ireland and update everyone on how it went. Did Ruby succeed or fail?? Who was the mysterious client??

Today’s tools and services gives you lot of power and control when it comes to setting up continuous integration and deployments. And they provide support to all popular languages, like Ruby, Python, Javascript out of the box, as well as some hip ones, like Rust and Go, that might not be used that much, but sound cool.

We at The Product Works always aspire to use relevant tools for our clients. Let it be a 2-person startup or a big company with 100+ tech people at their disposal. We took on a project recently where we took exactly this approach to the test.

Starting a tech company in Dublin, eh? If I could had the chance to send an email back in time to myself all those month ago in Nov 2014, what would be in my Start-up Primer? Hhmmm..

It's been an interesting year, have to say. This time last year the we  were working with SumUp, and I think none of us would have thought that merely 12 months later we be standing (actually sitting) here, with TheProduct.Works...
