This presentation shows what we learned during a redesign of the video camera support in Nexia Home Intelligence. Nexia is a large-scale Ruby on Rails application with a customer base using tens of thousands of video cameras. We’ll walk through examples of key design decisions and show code samples to illustrate refactoring the video camera code towards ubiquitous language, a rich domain model, better performance and scalability, and cleaner module boundaries.
