Future Improvements

  • Implement authentication.
  • Add a Web UI to the app.
  • Improve security with Rack Attack to protect from bad clients. Can be used to prevent brute-force passwords attacks, scrapers and throttling requests from IP addresses for example.
  • Scan code to look for security vulnerabilities with Brakeman.
  • Add performance monitoring with New Relic or AppSignal.
  • Add error and exception monitoring with Airbrake or Sentry.
