🎯 Project Objective

Create a convenient digital resource that helps combat veterans in Tatarstan quickly access up-to-date information about benefits, social support, employment, and legal assistance — without bureaucratic complexities or lengthy searches.

Result: a unified ecosystem with a web portal and native mobile application, covering all areas of the organization's work and accessible to users of any age.

🔧 Technology Stack

The project is built on a fault-tolerant architecture ensuring stability and scalability:

Ruby on Rails — server-side logic and administration:

• Integration with external services (Work Russia portal, public services)

PostgreSQL — reliable storage of structured data:

• Catalog of benefits and support measures with category-based filtering
• Database of job vacancies, legal consultations, and rehabilitation programs
• User appeal history with confidentiality preserved

RabbitMQ — asynchronous background task processing:

• Queues for sending notifications about new benefits and events
• Background synchronization of data with external sources
• Guaranteed delivery of appeals to relevant government agencies

React Native — cross-platform mobile application:

• Single codebase for Android with smooth and responsive interface
• Offline access to key sections: contacts, documents, instructions
• Integration with chat assistant and one-tap feedback form
