Your Rails app isn't slow because Rails is slow. It's slow because no one owns it.
Any of this sound like your app?
- Your Rails app hasn't been upgraded in two years. Gems are outdated, Ruby is end-of-life, and nobody wants to touch it.
- Your last developer said "it works, don't touch it" and left.
- Every agency you've called about the rescue wants to start over from scratch.
- You've been told a full rewrite is the only option.
10+ years of Rails in production
We've maintained and scaled Rails applications across e-commerce, automotive, publishing, and SaaS. We know where the bodies are buried - N+1 queries, bloated dependencies, missing indexes, outdated Ruby versions running on hope. We fix what matters and leave the rest alone.
Rails Upgrades
Running Rails 5? Rails 6? We've handled major version upgrades across complex production apps without downtime. We manage the full dependency chain - not just Rails, but every gem, every integration point, every breaking change.
Performance Optimization
Slow page loads, timeout errors, memory bloat. We diagnose the actual bottleneck - database queries, missing caching, unoptimized background jobs - and fix it. No guessing, no "try a full rewrite."
Security & Dependency Management
Gem vulnerabilities, expired SSL certificates, deprecated API integrations. We stay on top of it so you don't get a surprise at 2am. Your app stays patched, current, and secure.
Test Coverage & CI/CD
We target 80–90% automated test coverage. Every deployment runs through CI, every feature goes through staging. The same bug never hits production twice.
Code Review & Quality
Every line of code gets reviewed. We keep technical debt low and code quality high across years of ongoing development, not just the first project.
Infrastructure & Scaling
Database tuning, background job optimization, caching layers, CDN configuration. We build the infrastructure to handle growth so your app doesn't fall over when it succeeds.
Every application we manage runs on automated testing, continuous integration, and code review. This isn't optional - it's how we guarantee that Tuesday's deploy doesn't become Wednesday's emergency.
Rails upgrade guides
We wrote down how we run these upgrades, breaking change by breaking change:
How it works
Most of our Rails clients come to us with an existing app that needs better hands on it. We start with an audit, build a pragmatic roadmap, and embed as your long-term technical team. If you're weighing maintenance against a rewrite, we wrote up the economics of Rails maintenance, and what week one of a codebase audit turns up.
