Ruby on Rails API Development

Java, JavaScript, Ruby on Rails, MySQL, PostgreSQL, Ruby, RESTful API, API Development · This project revolves around a brand-new set of RESTful APIs built with Ruby on Rails and backed by PostgreSQL. I need clean, well-structured endpoints that hook smoothly into the database layer, follow secure-coding best practices, and come with clear, developer-friendly documentation.

Core scope • Design and code the Rails controllers, models, and routes for the required endpoints • Integrate PostgreSQL, including schema design and migration files • Wire up a robust authentication flow (method open for discussion; I’m happy to take your recommendation) • Produce concise, versioned API docs so front-end and third-party teams can consume the services without guesswork • Remain available for routine maintenance and incremental feature additions once the first milestone ships

What I’d like from you when you reply • A brief rundown of your preferred Rails stack—gems, testing framework, and any tooling you lean on for security and performance • One or two examples of past API-centric projects that illustrate your approach to code quality, documentation, and database design • Rough timeline and any milestones you think make sense

I’ll review proposals as they arrive a
