company 9 connections

French startup, a few years old as of 2022. Originally built with Rails + GraphQL + React, but around 2020 pivoted and rewrote the application. When rewriting, the team dropped the React/GraphQL split and adopted Hotwire + ViewComponent + Tailwind + Stimulus on a Rails monolith. Recently migrated from Webpacker to cssbundling/jsbundling, cutting build time from ~40s to ~5s. Yaroslav Shmarov was hired specifically as a front-end developer to work with this stack.
