How Compose uses Rails to Scale Work, Now Open-Sourced
summary
Compose open-sources a Rails app called Fizz that centralizes daily posts, praises and week‑long milestones to make a 20‑person remote company scale after an IBM acquisition. Architecture uses Postgres as primary store, Redis for Slack commands and sessions, and Disque for ActiveJob. Features include Slack slash commands, GitHub activity aggregation into numbered post lists, hashtag routing into channels, and a social graph built with CTE recursive queries that weights edges to show who actually collaborates.
