Over the last twelve months, the Technology department at Ibotta grew by over 100 people. Along with this growth, we’ve started breaking down our monolithic Ruby on Rails application into a series of microservices, which caused a rapid increase in the number of GitHub projects, languages and frameworks our squads use.
To keep our technologists (engineers, data scientists and analysts) focused on business logic, two cross-functional squads were created focusing on introducing conventions, reducing boilerplate and making common use-cases work out-of-the-box with little configuration.
