Quality, Speed
& Reliability

JetRockets is a Ruby on Rails agency, and only a Ruby on Rails agency. Every engineer here is a Rails specialist rather than a generalist who picked it up along the way. That means we diagnose faster, spend less time arguing about architecture, and ship on a cadence you can actually plan around. Fewer handoffs between front end and back end. Fewer delays. Fewer surprises in the sprint after the one you are looking at.

What a Rails-only agency does differently

A Ruby on Rails agency designs, builds, modernizes, and maintains applications on the Rails framework. Most of them also build in three or four other stacks. We do not.

Rails-only is a constraint we chose, and it changes what we can see. When your application slows down, we have almost certainly watched the same thing happen before, in a codebase that looked a lot like yours. That shortens diagnosis from weeks to days. It is the difference between a partner learning your stack on your budget and one who already knows where to look.

The proof is public and none of it can be bought. We maintain Jet UI, an open-source Rails component library built on ViewComponent, Tailwind, and Stimulus, and we publish it as the jet_ui gem. Our CTO, Igor Aleksandrov, is a Docker Captain. We have been a Gold Sponsor of Tropical on Rails two years running. That is fifteen years of showing up for the same framework, in public, under our own name.

Frequently asked questions

What does a Ruby on Rails agency do?

A Ruby on Rails agency designs, builds, modernizes, and maintains web applications on the Rails framework. In practice that is four kinds of work: building a new product, rescuing one that has stalled, upgrading an application that has fallen behind on Rails versions, and keeping a live platform fast and secure once it is carrying real traffic. Most agencies that offer Rails offer four or five other stacks alongside it. JetRockets does not. We are Rails-only, which is why we can usually tell you what is wrong with your application in days rather than weeks.

How much does it cost to work with JetRockets?

New projects start with a fixed scope and a fixed price. A production-ready MVP typically lands around 60,000 dollars, depending on what it has to do. You know the number before anyone writes a line of code, and if the work takes us longer than we thought, that is our problem rather than a line on your invoice. It also means we are not billing you for hours. We are delivering a thing. Once the first piece of work has shipped and both sides can see the partnership works, most clients move to a monthly retainer, which starts at 22,000 dollars a month. Smaller pieces of scoped work start at 25,600 dollars, so if you want to see how we operate before committing to a build, there is a way to do that.

How fast can you start, and how long does a build take?

Kickoff is typically two to three weeks after the agreement is signed. A simple MVP usually takes six to ten weeks. Larger platform work runs in two-week sprints with weekly visibility, so you always know what shipped and what is next. Clients see delivery roughly 40 percent faster than building the same team in-house, and most of that gap is not talent. It is that we are not learning Rails on your schedule.

Do you handle security audits and compliance work?

Yes. Security audits, dependency and CVE remediation, and hardening are core services, and we have taken production Rails applications through SOC 2 and HIPAA requirements in fintech, healthtech, and legal tech. Every new build carries a 30-day bug fix guarantee. If you are not certain whether you have a security problem, the free Rails code audit covers architecture, performance, and security and comes back as a written report in two to three days.

Can you scale an existing Rails application?

Yes, and it is a large share of what we do. Scaling work almost always starts with the database rather than the servers. N+1 queries, missing indexes, and unbounded result sets account for most of the Rails slowdowns we are called in to fix. From there it moves to caching, background jobs, and read replicas, and only then to running more machines. We work with zero-downtime deployment, so the fix does not need a maintenance window.

What happens if an engineer leaves my project?

The co-founders stay. Every JetRockets engagement is led by Natalie, Igor or Alexei rather than handed to a junior team once the contract is signed, so the people who understand your architecture and your business context do not change when a developer rotates off. People move between teams at every agency, ours included. The question worth asking a prospective partner is not whether that ever happens. It is whether the knowledge walks out of the door with them. Ours is built so that it does not.

Who owns the code?

You do. All intellectual property, all source code, all repositories, transferred to you and yours to keep. There is no lock-in, no proprietary framework you have to keep paying us to maintain, and no clause that makes leaving expensive. We work under a mutual NDA from the first conversation.

Where is your team based?

JetRockets is headquartered in Brooklyn, New York, and every engagement is led from New York. Our engineering team is distributed across Europe and, since 2024, Latin America. Between the two regions the working day runs long, so work carries on after your team logs off rather than pausing until morning.
