Swarmize
Swarmize is a stack of tools to make crowd-powered number-gathering a lot easier.
The Stack
Swarmize is built out of a number of components, written in either Ruby or Scala, and currently built around an AWS stack including RDS (hosting Postgres), Simple Workflow, DynamoDB, and deployed against Elastic Beanstalk. We use Elasticsearch as a data store.
