Admin Your App: or Why Internal Tools Matter

on YouTube ↗22m

" summary

Live Nation Labs replaces a Rails front end that used Active Admin with an Ember-based admin ecosystem that treats backend services as an API first platform and routes everything through an API proxy. Engineers spend days fixing stale Active Admin code (two days lost on one fix) and even update content from the rails console, so the new system uses Ember components, encapsulated feature folders, CI-tested APIs, tracking for every admin action, and modular packages (package.json / bower style) so new admin features install and work predictably on livenation.com and mobile.
