Work begins with discovery, mapping workflows, data structures, decision logic, and requirements before any model is chosen. Tooling is selected to fit, not the reverse, whether commercial or open-source LLMs (Claude, GPT, Llama), RAG over proprietary data, MCP integrations, or orchestration layers like n8n. Models connect to APIs, databases, and business rules, with governance built in from the start. Human review is retained on decisions affecting access and compliance, backed by audit trails and clear data boundaries. Deployments run cloud, on-prem, or hybrid. The result is an intelligence layer woven into your existing workflows, shaped around how your team already works.

Using proven technologies and industry best practices to develop robust, responsive web applications that integrate with a wide range of data sources, web services, APIs and backend technologies. 

There is not always an app for that. Despite the existence of millions of apps, there is still plenty of room for innovation and improvement. A custom app can put your product or service in the hands of new customers. 

Mobile development is not just for apps. A majority of your clients are likely interacting with your website and applications using their mobile devices. Responsive design, small screen-friendly functionality, and speed over cellular networks should be a part of the strategy when developing or designing any digital product.

Imagine a world where you log in to a single application that handles all your business needs. Integrating the disparate applications you use into a single functional application using pre-built or custom APIs can lead to this single app world. The bidirectional movement of data can happen seamlessly in the background of your application saving you time and money.

Web Services open up online systems for your solutions to interact with them, returning information as structured data (typically JSON or XML) through an API. Then the fun begins, as you make custom use of data, even mashing up information from multiple Web Services into a single set of customized content for your own use.

Between the time we write this to the time you read it, technology has changed. Technology is constantly evolving, and yesterday's advanced skills might be today's basic skills. Staying on top of the changes can be difficult, so working with trainers is a great way to keep up with the pace of advances.

At Beezwax, we often work on FileMaker projects that intersect with other technologies near and dear to our hearts, including JavaScript, Python, Swift and of course Ruby. This allows us to build robust web applications in Ruby on Rails, integrated with data sources from FileMaker solutions. 

Since Claris introduced the FileMaker Data API, there was no off-the-shelf Ruby library for us to simply gem install, so we decided to roll up our sleeves and build one. Thus, fmrest-ruby was born, renamed to bzREST-ruby as a “bzModule", for use as a modular part of a custom software applications.
