The first working version of Rubiš was built at 3 AM on a school
night, purely on impulse.
A friend was ranting about needing a
paste service with a fully-featured API that was not locked behind
ridiculous pricing (looking at you, Pastebin), so the response was
simple:
"Why not just make our
own?"
Initially, Rubiš was built for one person - a
friend in need.
Word spread, and more people started asking for
access.
Within a month, the original sloppy,
1-hour codebase was thrown out and rebuilt from
scratch into a fully RESTful
API.
- Swagger documentation was added
-
API versioning was introduced (v2 became the latest)
-
Industry-standard REST conventions were adopted
At
this point, Rubiš was no longer just a "for fun" project - it was
a fully functional paste service.
sUNC, a tool which tests the environment of script executors for games, was also
suffering under Pastebin's awful API. Their team saw Rubiš as the perfect
replacement.
The Rubiš team went above and beyond to
create a custom sUNC test result viewer that integrated
seamlessly with their internal systems.
"After struggling with
Pastebin's painfully slow API - which they somehow have the nerve to charge
for - we turned to Rubiš. Even in its early development, the team was
incredibly responsive, rapidly refining and perfecting the service to meet
our needs. They went above and beyond, delivering a fully custom site for us
that beautifully showcases sUNC test results while seamlessly integrating
with the Rubiš API and our internal systems."

More users meant
more demand, but it also meant more
abuse.
Some inconsiderate users started spamming hundreds of
thousands of junk scraps, causing 500K+ requests within a few
minutes.
RubisGuard™ was
introduced - a powerful,
adaptive security system designed to:
-
Automatically detect & block mass spam
-
Rate-limit malicious traffic
- Introduce a 3MB scrap
size limit to prevent abuse (yes, Rubiš used to be unlimited.
3MB is still VERY generous though!)
This marked Rubiš becoming
fully production-ready.
The Rubiš experience
received a massive upgrade, turning it into a fully
branded, polished service.
- A new
website
- Revamped viewing experience
-
Full-featured web app (Post, delete, and edit scraps
easily)
- Introduction of the Epique Plans
Rubiš is
no longer just a side project - it is a real service,
designed to last.
Rubiš isn't stopping
here.
We have plans for:
- custom file support,
-
uploading non-text files,
- scrap analytics for
Epique Plus users,
- even more features,
-
and enterprise solutions
already in motion.
The
Epique Plus plan will introduce scrap
analytics, higher scrap size limits,
increased request limits per second, and even more
(including custom solutions) for power users.
Rubiš is more than
just another paste service.
It is built for modern
developers, power users, and
automation - without the frustrating limitations of legacy
platforms.
Rubiš will not slow down. It will only get bigger and better -
by listening to you for ideas &
support.
