A partnership that helped Marin County reset, rebuild, and regain control
When Marin County's web rebuild hit a wall, Rudder stepped in to simplify the path forward. In just 30 days, the team rebuilt a complex system, met a critical deadline, and left the county's developers with a foundation they could own.
A project in crisis
Marin County had been working on a major web infrastructure rebuild for months. But as the deadline approached, the project was stalled. The existing vendor relationship had broken down, technical debt was mounting, and the county's internal team was overwhelmed.
They needed a partner who could step in quickly, understand the existing architecture, and deliver a working solution—all within an immovable 30-day window.
Clear priorities, steady execution
We started with a rapid assessment of the existing codebase and infrastructure. Rather than starting from scratch, we identified what could be salvaged and what needed to be rebuilt.
Our approach focused on three priorities:
Address critical issues and establish a stable foundation for further development.
Remove unnecessary complexity and create a maintainable architecture the county's team could own.
Meet the deadline with a solution that worked, then document everything for smooth handoff.
Deadline met, control restored
Within 30 days, we delivered a fully rebuilt web infrastructure that met all of the county's requirements. The site launched on time with 100% uptime, and the county's development team had complete ownership of the codebase.
More importantly, we left them with documentation, training, and a maintainable architecture—no ongoing dependency on Rudder required.
Rudder came in at a critical moment and delivered exactly what we needed. They didn't just solve the immediate problem— they set us up for long-term success.
