We’ve refined our process to minimize risks and downtime
We analyze your existing application, dependencies, and infrastructure to identify upgrade challenges.
You’ll receive a detailed roadmap that includes:
With the insights gained from our comprehensive ecosystem review and user research, we are well-equipped to design a prototype that meets the needs of our clients.
Testing is at the heart of every successful Rails upgrade.
This dual-layer approach keeps risk low and quality high.
We ensure your application is running on a compatible, secure Ruby version. This includes upgrading Ruby itself, patching gems, and configuring framework defaults so your app takes advantage of modern Rails features without unexpected behavior.
We run the Rails app:update task, carefully reviewing generated diffs to apply new configurations safely. This step ensures your application uses recommended defaults for performance, security, and maintainability.
Once your application passes all tests, we manage staging and production rollouts. We monitor post-deployment performance, troubleshoot any issues, and offer ongoing support to keep your app stable after the upgrade.
We’ve upgraded dozens of legacy Rails apps for startups, growing SaaS companies, and enterprises. With over a decade of Ruby on Rails expertise, our team knows how to avoid the common pitfalls of version jumps and deliver clean, stable, and performant upgrades. Beyond experience, you get a Rails upgrade service that’s predictable, well-documented, and easy to live with. We de-risk every step for your legacy Rails app so you see faster performance, stronger security, and a smoother path to future releases without surprises.
How long does a typical Rails upgrade take?
It depends on your application size, test coverage, and current version. Small apps can take a few weeks, while large, complex apps may take a few months. We provide a timeline after the initial audit.
What if my app doesn’t have automated tests?
We can help build a test suite before starting the upgrade. This reduces risk and ensures we can validate that your app works the same after the upgrade.
Do you upgrade Ruby itself along with upgrading Rails?
Yes. We make sure your application runs on a secure and supported Ruby version. This often includes upgrading gems and dependencies to match the new Ruby version.
Will my app look or behave differently after the upgrade?
Not unless you want it to. Our goal is to keep your app functionally identical while improving stability, security, and performance.
Do you offer post-upgrade support?
Absolutely. We monitor for issues after deployment and provide ongoing support to ensure everything runs smoothly.
