From the interface down to the database
Web and mobile work at RT is rarely a website. It is the layer that makes a system usable: the dashboard that shows a fleet of devices, the mobile app that configures hardware in the field, the API that lets another team build against your data, the internal platform that replaced a decade of spreadsheets.
Architecture before code
We use a deliberately unfashionable approach: understand the domain first, find the essence of the system, and leave detailed design for later. That means a preliminary study with business analysis and UX, an analysis of the main actors and workflows, and a system schema you can argue with — before anyone commits to a framework.
The payoff is stability. Microservices, cloud services, container technologies, orchestration and DevOps are all available to us and none of them is automatic. Each one enters the design when the system needs it.
What we have built this way
Unified business platforms combining CRM and ERP functions with end-to-end automation. Full-cycle distance learning systems. Operational dashboards over live device fleets. In every case the interesting part was not the framework — it was the integration with everything the organisation already ran.
