Agile development for local governments
summary
Municipality gets a working participatory budget platform for Monterrey (1M+ residents, 5% of property tax) delivered in under two months by adapting Decidim implemented in Ruby on Rails, containerizing everything with Docker + GitHub Actions + Docker Compose. Development follows trunk-based development with automated image builds, pushes, and a near-instant deploy to the test server; weekly requirement changes are absorbed. Some Docker-specific bugs cost days, but the pipeline and documentation make deployments repeatable and the municipality adopts the workflow.
