CUSTOM RAILS SERVICES

Advanced Web Application Engineering

We embrace the 'One Person Framework' ethos. From eliminating expensive Redis clusters using Solid Queue to bypassing cloud lock-in with zero-downtime Kamal deployments.

Engineers working together

We simplify the stack. We utilize Rails 8's default integrations—Solid Queue for background jobs and Solid Cache for memory caching—eliminating the need to manage separate Redis servers while maintaining extreme performance.

We eliminate cloud vendor lock-in. We deploy containerized Rails applications anywhere—from AWS to bare-metal servers—using Kamal, achieving automated, zero-downtime rolling deploys without the complexity of Kubernetes.

We build Single Page Applications (SPAs) without the JavaScript overhead. We utilize Hotwire, Turbo Drive, and Stimulus to send raw HTML over the wire, providing instant page transitions while keeping business logic strictly on the server.

We build live, highly interactive features. We utilize Action Cable to seamlessly integrate WebSockets into your Rails app, powering real-time chat, live notifications, and instantaneous dashboard updates.

We prevent database meltdowns. Our DBAs rigorously analyze Active Record queries, implementing strict eager loading (`includes`) to destroy N+1 queries and utilizing database-level constraints for absolute data integrity.

We build headless backends. When a dedicated React or React Native frontend is required, we deploy Rails in API-only mode, stripping out the view rendering middleware to deliver blazing-fast JSON payloads.

We rescue aging codebases. We execute safe, methodical 'dual-boot' upgrades, migrating legacy Rails 4 or 5 applications directly to modern Rails 7/8, patching security vulnerabilities with zero production downtime.

We ensure your application never breaks. We enforce strict Test-Driven Development (TDD) utilizing RSpec, FactoryBot, and Capybara, writing comprehensive unit and system tests to guarantee business logic.

Kamal Deployment & Cost Reduction

A global fashion retailer was paying exorbitant monthly fees to Heroku. We containerized their massive Rails monolith and utilized Kamal to deploy it directly to a fleet of raw, inexpensive bare-metal servers. The transition was seamless, deployment times dropped, and monthly infrastructure costs were slashed by 70%.

SAAS

Solid Queue Migration

A B2B software provider's architecture was overly complex, requiring a massive Redis cluster solely to run background tasks via Sidekiq. We upgraded them to Rails 8 and migrated their jobs to Solid Queue, utilizing their existing PostgreSQL database to handle background tasks. This eliminated Redis entirely, simplifying their infrastructure.

Action Cable Real-Time Dashboards

A digital news publisher needed a live-updating analytics dashboard for their editors during election nights. Instead of building a complex React/Node.js microservice, we utilized Action Cable and Turbo Streams. As votes updated in the database, the server automatically broadcasted pure HTML snippets to all connected browsers, updating the UI instantly.

Ruby on Rails FAQ

What tech leaders ask about Ruby on Rails before pulling us in:

Rails 8 embraces the 'One Person Framework' philosophy by radically simplifying deployment and infrastructure. It introduced Solid Queue and Solid Cache, which utilize your primary database for background jobs and caching, completely eliminating the need to manage complex Redis clusters. Combined with Kamal for deployment, a single engineer can build and deploy a massive application effortlessly.

Kamal is a modern deployment tool built by the creators of Rails. Instead of paying premium prices for PaaS providers like Heroku, or managing insanely complex Kubernetes clusters, Kamal allows you to deploy containerized web applications anywhere—from AWS to cheap bare-metal servers—achieving zero-downtime rolling deploys natively.

For the vast majority of applications, you do not need React. Hotwire (HTML Over The Wire) allows Rails to send tiny snippets of HTML directly to the browser via WebSockets (Turbo Streams) or AJAX (Turbo Drive). This provides the exact same instant, page-refresh-free experience as a Single Page Application (SPA), but with zero client-side JavaScript build complexity.

Yes, and it is actively encouraged for many applications in modern Rails. Thanks to recent advancements in SQLite's concurrent write capabilities (WAL mode) and strict integrations within Rails 8, SQLite is now a highly viable, ridiculously fast, zero-configuration database for small to medium production applications.

We utilize Action Cable. Instead of building a separate Node.js server just to handle WebSockets, Action Cable integrates WebSockets directly into your Rails application. This allows us to broadcast live notifications, chat messages, and data updates instantly to thousands of connected clients using standard Ruby.

Rails is significantly faster for initial development. Node.js is a runtime, not a framework, meaning teams often waste weeks debating which routing library, ORM, and folder structure to use. Rails relies on 'Convention over Configuration'; all those decisions are already made. You simply run `rails new` and start building business logic immediately.

The most common performance killer in Rails is the 'N+1 query', where rendering 100 items accidentally triggers 100 separate database calls. We actively profile Active Record logs and use tools like the `bullet` gem to identify these issues, resolving them by eagerly loading associations with `.includes()` to fetch everything in a single SQL query.

Yes, we specialize in legacy upgrades. We employ a strict 'dual-boot' methodology. First, we ensure 100% test coverage using RSpec. Then, we configure the app to boot using both the old and the new Rails versions simultaneously in testing environments, resolving deprecations safely before deploying the updated version to production with zero downtime.
