Problem
Like most startups, the team at Teespring was building fast and furious - pushing code as quickly as they could to build the new features their rapidly expanding customer base was asking for. The e-commerce site that enabled individuals to design and sell custom apparel had a small engineering team, and while they were about to experience massive success, the existing codebase wasn’t built with meteoric growth in mind.
Working across multiple platforms to migrate their PHP code-base to Ruby on Rails, Teespring required a way to ramp-up their team overnight with experienced Ruby on Rails developers who could complete the migration quickly in order to roll-out new features on a regular basis.
