Solution
Technology
Backend:
- RoR 4.1,
- MRI 2.1,
- PostgreSQL 9.3,
- Redis, and Elasticsearch
Frontend
- jQuery
Our client already had an LGBTQ travel booking website and mobile apps for iOS and Android, but we needed to improve performance and extend the product functionality.
Since the current tech stack was outdated, we offered more advanced and reliable technologies to guarantee high‑quality product operation.
Our team needed to update outdated versions of mobile applications and ensure the proper functioning of all app features on the selected platforms: iOS and Android.
