Esther Olatunde

There’s a specific kind of dread that shows up right before you change one line of config in production.

Hi, I’m Esther Olatunde, a software engineer and product-minded builder.

(aka how to get your team started with remote work) A friend who runs a couple of businesses in Lagos, Nigeria recently asked me to document a guide on how to introduce remote work to his team and I wrote this up.

In this article, I will document the process of how I helped a small startup with tens of thousands of users and data migrate their Ruby on Rails application from Heroku to AWS Elastic Beanstalk with no loss of data and service.

Ruby was the first language that I truly enjoyed after struggling to learn Java using the Head First Java book, building web pages with a bunch of PHP scripts and attempting to build an airplane ops application with Laravel.

What hardware I use?

When looking at a new codebase, the first thing I look out for is the docs for getting set up.

One of the reasons why I love tech is because it’s an ever-evolving industry where there’s always something new to learn.

I love remote work because it allows me to optimize my daily work routine for when I’m most productive.

Here’s my answer to “How do you stay productive as a developer?”

At Happy Bear Software, we have this writing series where each member on the team is asked a question and we write down our answers in approx 300words.

For convenience when you manage multiple applications from multiple Heroku accounts, so you won’t have to login on the terminal to switch between multiple accounts whenever you have to make deployments.

Background jobs in rails applications make our development lives easier.
