Pipelines to the Rescue: How to Avoid Proliferating Artifacts

Does this problem sound familiar to you? You save a Word document as 'v1.doc', then make some changes and save the new version as 'v2.doc'. A colleague might email back some changes, then rename that document to 'v2John.doc' destroying the whole idea of a well-defined genealogy of documents. As the deadline approaches you save the document as 'final.doc', dreading the inevitable, ever-growing 'finalfinal...' as hectic last minute changes are made.

Downshift: The Answer to Building Accessible and Visually Flexible React Input Components

You need some dropdown boxes for your next React project. What do you do? Do you build your own from scratch or do you leverage a UI component framework? In the realm of React UI Component Frameworks, there are lots of popular options: React-Bootstrap, Material-UI, the open source project Blueprint, and Semantic UI React. These frameworks are great in that the learning curve is low and the time to get a dropdown box into your site is quick. But what if you need the dropdown box to match your brand, display customized error messages, or with selection items inside a speech bubble coming out of a penguin?

How Public Speaking Created a Culture of Confidence

As a Talent Manager, I'm fortunate to be able to speak with both current employees and potential candidates about our work and culture. One common theme that always comes up in conversation with Ranglers is how much they love that we prioritize our speaking culture. Similarly, whenever I share that we have a prominent speaking culture with potential candidates, there's a palpable excitement. So, what does having a speaking culture mean exactly?

Rangle, Toronto, and Artificial Intelligence

Since its early days, Rangle has always aimed to be actively engaged with the developer community both globally and locally here in Toronto, a city with the fastest growing tech-job market today. Having established the company as a leader in front end software development, we've recently been working on expanding into other areas such as machine learning. Now with more local resources to draw on than ever before, we want to work with the community to help clients around the world to realize Toronto's excellence in this area.

What It's Like to Do Your Co-op at Rangle

While still in school it can be incredibly difficult to determine what career you're interested in pursuing after graduation. That's why co-op placements are an essential part of deciding what path you want to take or even how you want to pivot your education. At Rangle we're lucky to have a group of co-op students and interns who are hardworking, dedicated, and inspiring to work with.

Rangle Roulette: How a Donut Improved Our Culture

Here at Rangle, we're growing - and fast! An average Monday almost always means a handful of new faces joining us. While growth is incredibly exciting, it does pose a challenge in maintaining the level of community and connectedness we strive for. We have Friday Socials, tea sampling, lunch and learns, guilds and more, but it can be difficult to break out of the norm and meet people outside of your team. So how do you encourage a human connection instead of just transactional Slack messages and a quick hello as you pass through the kitchen?

Hosting a Frontend Application in AWS with Terraform

If I told you that you could provision the necessary infrastructure for your frontend application by running two commands, would you believe me? If you've read our previous blog, Setup Continuous Deployment of Your Nodejs App in a Highly Available Environment, you already know the answer is yes. If not, in this tutorial, we'll take a deep dive into how to write down the necessary infrastructure (as code) with Terraform to host a frontend app in AWS S3 delivered via CloudFront with a custom domain and subdomain. We will then implement a CI/CD pipeline that allows you to validate and push code reliably to your environment effortlessly.

Setup Continuous Deployment of Your Nodejs App in a Highly Available Environment

Have you ever wondered what it would take to have a Node.js application deployed to AWS? And how much longer it would take to build out a highly available, redundant environment with failover capabilities that supports zero downtime deployments? In this tutorial, we will create a highly available and fault-tolerant architecture for deploying a Node.js application. We will then integrate this with Elastic Beanstalk and build out a CI/CD pipeline to support a smoother and faster development process.
