Higher Pixels is a product development company and the proud architect of the majestic monolith of podcasting: Buzzsprout, the easiest way to start podcasting and keep podcasting. They continue to expand their product StreamCare, aligning healthcare stakeholders for better outcomes, while maintaining their legacy products Tick, time tracking that keeps projects profitable, and Donor Tools, empowering nonprofits to easily manage donations. Across industries, they create web products that are elegantly designed and a joy to use.
Higher Pixels started building their first Rails product (Tick) in 2005 after attending 37signals Getting Real workshop. Since then, they’ve launched five products, all built entirely on Rails using the Rails Doctrine and as close to 100% vanilla Rails as possible.
Buzzsprout is their largest product, handling over 200,000 requests per minute for 120,000 active podcasts on a Rails monolith. Buzzsprout also features native Android and iOS apps that levarage of all the capabilities of Hotwire, Turbo Native, and Strada.
In 2025, Company became a contributing member of the Rails Foundation.
In the history of our company, nothing has impacted our ability to build and scale product ideas like Ruby on Rails - the framework, the doctrine, and the community. Rails has given us the foundation to turn ideas into successful products, enabling us to move fast while keeping our code elegant and maintainable. It has shaped not just how we build software, but how we think about development as a craft. Beyond the technology, the Rails community has been an incredible source of knowledge, support, and inspiration. The openness and generosity of Rails developers have helped us grow, and we’re excited to give back by joining the Rails Foundation. We believe in supporting the community that has given us so much, ensuring it continues to thrive for years to come.
