Development Update
Welcome to the first RideAware newsletter! Thank you for signing up on our landing page and showing
interest in our cycling training platform. We wanted to reach out with an important update about our
development progress. We've been working hard behind the scenes, and we're making a significant
architectural decision—rewriting the RideAware API from Python to Go before we launch alpha testing.
Why We're Building in Go from the Start
⚡ Lightning-Fast Performance
Go's compiled nature and efficient concurrency model will dramatically reduce API response times,
making your workout syncs, data uploads, and real-time metrics faster than ever.
🔋 Enhanced Resource Efficiency
Go's minimal memory footprint means we can serve more users with better performance while reducing
infrastructure costs—savings we can pass on to you.
📈 Superior Scalability
As our community grows, Go's built-in concurrency features will ensure RideAware remains fast and
responsive, even during peak usage times.
🛡️ Rock-Solid Reliability
Go's strong typing and compile-time error checking mean fewer bugs and more stable releases,
giving you a more reliable training platform.
🔮 Future-Proof Architecture
This rewrite establishes a solid foundation for advanced features we're planning, including
real-time ride analytics, enhanced workout builder capabilities, and deeper third-party integrations.
What This Means for You in Alpha Testing
Near-instant workout loading and navigation throughout the app
Faster synchronization of ride data and training metrics
More responsive real-time workout controls and feedback
Improved battery life on mobile devices during extended rides
Smoother handling of complex structured workouts with multiple intervals
A more stable platform as we prepare for beta and full release
We know you're eager to get your hands on RideAware, and this rewrite means it will take us a bit
longer to launch alpha testing. However, we're confident this decision will result in a dramatically
better experience from day one. We're committed to building the best cycling training platform
possible, and starting with Go gives us the right foundation.
