Discover Optimal Workshop - Ruby on Rails Companies series

This August, Optimal Workshop's crew will open their doors and will talk us through their engineering stack and how they solved some engineering challenges specific to the User Research industry.

Optimal Workshop has been a leader in information architecture tools for user research for over a decade. From humble beginnings in Wellington, we pioneered card sorting and tree testing. Today, our suite of five specialised tools allows start-ups and Fortune 500 companies to test early, test often, and test at scale – all in one place.

Talks

• "How to have fun with a 15-year-old codebase" - Thorsten Böttger, technical lead at Sharesight for over 10 years, will be talking about his experience at Sharesight on how they keep it fun while scaling a 15-year-old codebase to the next level.
• "Making deleted data useful" - Lucy Dement will be talking through the creation of a gem that allows Optimal Workshop to both respect their customer privacy and to understand how deleted users used Optimal Workshop's product.
• "Optimal Workshop's story" - Gabe Young will share the journey of Optimal Workshop's tech stack and talk through some interesting challenges they face.
