Developing and Maintaining a Platform With Rails and Lotus
summary
DNSimple rewrites its REST surface into API v2 mounted as a Rack app, built with Hanami (formerly Lotus) alongside Rails and running in production. The codebase wraps external libraries behind adapters to avoid widespread stubs, uses finders plus a commands and services layer (no business logic in models or controllers), returns result objects instead of exceptions, and ships OAuth, webhooks and official clients. The split lets the new API live independently while reusing core services and it proves maintainable at scale.
