Speaking of which, I'm looking forward to using Broadway [1] in a new project here in my company. Here, people are using an enterprise integration engine specialized in the healthcare space [2], with built-in single-branch version control and all actions going through the UI.

As I come from a background of several years with Ruby on Rails, I really hope to convince people to use this great library/framework your company created, since RoR is severely lacking when handling heavy concurrency like when gluing multiple APIs in complex workflows. Software engineers are going to love it, but integration analysts are used to IDEs with GUIs, so we'll need to create a pretty admin dashboard to convince them to switch.
