Technical Implementation

I incorporated the following Ruby gems and APIs.

Echelon (https://github.com/lloydpick/echelon) calls theme park APIs to access information such as name, wait time, and active status. 

Twilio (https://www.twilio.com/) was used to incorporate the SMS integration with.

Heroku (https://www.heroku.com) is a cloud-based application platform where ParkBuddy is hosted.

PostgresQL (https://www.postgresql.org/)  was used to create a database that store ride information and recommendations locally.
