Hey Ruby pros! I met a lot of you during the March meet-up. I'm new to both San Diego and Ruby and I'm excited to get to know some of you better and strengthen my Ruby skills. I come from a strong Python/Django and .NET background and have dabbled quite a bit with React on the frontend.
I've been helping a local company (RoR stack) build towards their product vision and I'm anticipating a lot of work will be in helping them automate some of the internal operations. We are currently using Active Admin to provide CRUD operations to everything with a little customization here and there (think links that modify bits of data). This is a marketplace company and there is a lot of operational work which requires the internal team to be able to look up information about clients to get a big picture and also take some action on client data - such things as approving a client, pause their subscription, view their historic billing, reset their password, the list goes on. Active Admin has worked but there is a lot of internal frustration using it as an operations tool. It's hard for me to imagine that we'll be able to sustain the operational growth using it as a tool but it's possible that I'm not using it to it's capacity. I'm wondering if any of you out there know of other, more flexible tools for running operations. As I see it, our options at this point are: - Stick with ActiveAdmin and double-down on customization - Find an alternative tool that has more flexibility - Build something from scratch These 3 paths all have their pros and cons but wanted to get some other opinion and thoughts about it.
