From multiple apps to Monolith #BuildingMonsterservices

We are currently transferring our 5 public Rails apps to 1 big monolith. All five of them are job boards with seemingly similar logic but historically grown exceptions and weird peculiarities. The perspective to have multiple data bases managed in 1 app in Rails 6 sparked our idea. The whole story!

Born and raised as a half Croatian in West Berlin by a teenage mom gave Kaja her Pippi Longstockings mindset. She studied philosophy and historical linguistics and her perspective on code is heavily influenced by these two subjects. She works at Absolventa in a team of 5 other cute quirky developers and in her freetime she goes on demonstrations for social justice issues and plays football (soccer) in a feminist fooball club. Also she’s a proud organizer of the Rails Girls Berlin aka. code curious. During the Rails Girls Summer of Code 2017 Kaja contributed to Discourse.
