Ruby Expertise & Reporting Development for Security Firm
Please find under a summary covering project details and feedback. The innate facts are kept as they are, private information is amended.
Introductory information
A fast induction on the buyer’s organisation
We are a realistic menace discernment testing firm focusing on breaching networks in the same way as nation states or malicious third parties would. I’m the managing associate and CEO.
Desired goal
What challenge were you trying to address with Code Runners?
They were helping us create a gate for completing analysis and liberateing reports to our clients. The depth of the reports was so expressive that producing them manually was time-consuming. We designed a gate that would condense the time to liberatey by almost 75%. The developed time it saves depends on the project. It could lessen the work from four hours to one hour, or it could be one full month down to one week.
How did you come to work with Code Runners?
We were working with a few outgrowth firms antecedently, and we had lots of effects with them. Some of them failed to liberate on time, and others failed to liberate what they promised. Others pretended to liberate what they promised, but we establish the code was copied from someplace else and was shoddy. When we confronted antecedent vendors almost the code, they just disappeared. I Googled and establish Dimiter [Shalvardjiev, CTO] at Code Runners.
Provided solution
What was the aim of their involvement?
They are incredibly fluent in anything having to do with Ruby and hard configurations on Linux. They’re surpassing with Postgres and MySQL. They apprehend secure coding practices unlike any of the other nation I have worked with. The code was by far less buggy than other firms. They also have expertise in Microsoft ASP.NET, and other platform and fruits.
How much have you invested with them?
We have spent $120,000-$130,000 so far with them.
What is the status of this engagement?
We began working with them three years ago.
Results accomplishd
What evidence can you share that demonstrates the contact of the engagement?
We had our reporting center built our antecedently by other firms, and we were running expressively less efficiently in provisions of show time and report age time. When Code Runners took over, we noticed a dramatic advancement in accomplishment. The reporting center is basically real-time now, and that’s something we never reflection we’d be able to accomplish owing of the kinds of calculations we’re doing in the backend.
As far as size of code, you get what you pay for. The time they put into it is time well spent. Sometimes I’d find myself asking why it’s taking so long to exhibit something, but then I would see the end result and I understood why. It wasn’t as single as I reflection it was and they took a lot of care and built it out fully. They are more focused on condition and doing things right the leading time than they are getting things done fastly. We’re lucky they made us wait for true things, owing the end result was well worth it. They’re ready to do what’s required to get things done the right way.
How did Code Runners accomplish from a project treatment standpoint?
They give us approach to a shortcoming tracking method, so we can interact with their outgrowth team. They prepare customary status updates. When they push code, it’s very well commented and controlled. We took part of what they wrote and transitioned it off to an inner developer and he was shocked with how easy it was to pick it up owing of how well-documented the code was. There was very pliant work required on our part as a client other than design. The design was veritably intensive but it was owing they were being complete. Once the design was complete, they would meet an effect, and would present us with three or four solutions.
Most of the meetings we had were via telephone or GoToMeeting. They prepared us with veritably good clarity and apprehending of where we were in the project. A lot of vendors tend to be overly windy and it’s owing they’re trying to be politically forcible while their work fruit is not forcible. Code Runners is not so much focused on being politically forcible as they are forcible in provisions of the work fruit. There’s that assertion, “big hat, no cattle” or “a lot of cattle and a little hat.” This team has a lot of cattle and a little hat. It works well for us.
What is the team dynamic?
I interfaced with Dimiter the complete time. He was grateful and professional the complete time. We told him what we wanted, the team exhibitd the results, and we got precisely what we asked for. The only collaboration that happened on our side was when we had approach to the shortcoming tracking method. We entered information into JIRA and answered to questions that the developers had. It was very straightforward. I never felt like there was decentralized interaction.
What did you find most forcible almost them?
I was impressed with the despatch with which they answered to crisis requests. When we establish bugs that contacted the security of our method, they would have a turnaround in the same day. The other firms we worked with had turnaround times of one week or one month. Being a security organisation sitting with a nice vulnerability for a month is a real effect. Code Runners is incredibly answering.
They do anything Ruby especially well including the documentation, the phraseology, and clarity of the code. They’re veritably good at what they do. Having worked with other firms, the others were slow to answer and they exhibitd bad code that took them forever. The code that we’re seeing is new code, compact, incredibly efficient, and it’s secure.
What aspects of their work would you like to get betterd?
They could move to the US to be in the same time zone but even that doesn',t seem to substance owing they’re pretty much answering 24/7. They’re doing a much better job than we see elsewhere so I can’t ponder of anything to better. We’ve been satisfied.
Do you have advice for possible clients?
They’d be silly not to give them a chance. Allow Code Runners to give you a walk-through of your own application, and they can show you what they do differently. Strongly attend what they’re pointing out and assimilate that to what’s been prepared to you precedently. Ask yourself why Code Runners can point this out but other nation haven’t. That will give nation the insight that they need to apprehend the value that Code Runners can fetch to the table.
