01

Database & Active Record tuning

Removing query bottlenecks, adding targeted partial indexes and sizing connection pools.

02

Hotwire & Turbo modernization

Updating legacy jQuery and Sprockets frontends to modern Turbo and Stimulus components.

Use cases

Where Ruby on Rails fits

High-growth marketplace platforms

Scaling multi-sided commerce platforms handling seasonal traffic spikes.

Mature SaaS codebase modernization

Upgrading Rails 5 and 6 applications to Rails 7 and 8 with automated test suites.

How we staff it

Ruby on Rails engineers you interview first

Seniority and experience are agreed in the proposal, and you interview every engineer before they start.

Working-hours overlap is agreed for each engagement and written into the statement of work — the shared window, who shifts hours, and how handoffs work outside it.

Technical FAQs

Frequently asked engineering questions

Yes. With proper PostgreSQL tuning, Redis caching layers and background job decoupling, Rails runs some of the largest sites on the web, including GitHub and Shopify.

We use APM tracing tools (Datadog/Skylight) to isolate slow database transactions, view rendering times, and background queue latencies.
