It Looks Like You're Writing A Service: Would You Like Help?
summary
Union Metrics extracts seams from a Rails app into a stand-alone service called spectator with a concrete spec (URI, params, request body, and status codes 201 409 403). Development follows a client-first approach, a unified HTTP client (HTTParty) and simple YAML config, tests with WebMock and rack‑test, and a demo fixture shortcut to return canned JSON. Integration uses a get_local_response stub for local production data. Ops rely on a JSON health check that verifies Redis and the database.
