About Groupon
Groupon, an American e-commerce company, operates in 500+ cities worldwide. Its marketplace, LivingSocial, offers steep discounts on everyday items, activities, dining, and unique experiences. In 2022, their annual revenue was $599 million USD.
The challenge.
Groupon built its web and app platforms on Ruby on Rails (RoR). Ruby on Rails’ scalability is ideal for handling Groupon's fluctuating workloads, which are tied to time-sensitive deals. For this, other e-commerce giants like Shopify also use RoR. Groupon processes 10M sales per year and Ruby on Rails helps accommodate high levels of traffic. To maintain their brand loyalty and business partners' trust, Groupon needed QA support from engineers with extensive Rails knowledge.
Groupon needed QA engineers familiar with RoR. These devs could perform QA checks to find vulnerabilities in Groupon's platform and enhance reliability.
