Refactoring and extending communication layer using Twilio API
The project consists of two parts: main grape-based API backend and web crawler, gathering vehicle sell postings from the web. API includes tricky communication redirection layer based on Twilio .
My noticeable goals were:
- migrate both apps from Resque to Sidekiq (jobs rework, queues tuning)
- add Sidekiq monitoring and logging extensions
- refactor/add MMS handling for Twilio
- leasing and freeing Twilio phone numbers
- forwarding calls/ steganography (shown on screenshot)
- Amazon EC2 instances managing and tuning
- rewrite and make testable internal Slack messenger (shown on screenshot)
- integration with NewRelic, Rollbar, Papertrail and Dead Man’s Snitch 3rd-party services
- plenty of small refactorings (code had low quality)
And of course everything was tested with Rspec.
