Need someone to take over your existing Rails application?

Yes. We specialize in taking over existing Rails applications, including projects where the original developer or agency is no longer available. We start by understanding the codebase, infrastructure, and business priorities.

We work with the repository, documentation, and access you have, identify missing information, and agree on how to recover it. If the outgoing developer is available, we coordinate the handover with them.

No. Bring us the problem and what it means for your business. We investigate the application, identify the technical causes, and agree on priorities with you. You do not need to turn every concern into a developer ticket or manage the technical solution yourself.

Whether the issue is recurring production failures, slow development, or an integration that no longer works reliably, we turn the findings into a practical plan with clear responsibilities and next steps.

We start with what already works and favor targeted fixes, gradual upgrades, and incremental improvements. A takeover does not require a rewrite. If a larger change is justified, we explain the tradeoffs and agree on the approach with you first.

Our work can include local refactoring, staged migrations, and interface improvements that preserve the application your customers already use.

It can include Ruby and Rails upgrades, dependency updates, production fixes, performance improvements, background jobs, monitoring, security, infrastructure, and integrations. We also build new features, prioritizing the work around your application’s condition and business goals.

We agree on the scope, priorities, and communication rhythm so maintenance and product development move forward together.

Not necessarily. We discuss the application, priorities and expected workload before recommending a focused takeover, ongoing maintenance or maintenance with development.

We will explain the proposed scope and engagement terms before work begins. The first conversation does not commit you to a full development contract.

It depends on the size and condition of the application, the support coverage you need and whether you also want new development. We can discuss an appropriate scope after learning about your situation.

Rather than quoting an invented fixed price, we clarify priorities, expected workload and working arrangements before proposing an engagement.

We start by understanding the impact, available monitoring and recovery options. As part of the handover we agree on incident contacts, responsibilities and response expectations.

Monitoring and around-the-clock engineer availability are different services. Any required coverage and response hours should be explicitly agreed rather than assumed.

We discuss what the product does, what is worrying you, who currently maintains it and what needs attention first. We then suggest a sensible next step, such as a focused technical review or a handover plan.

You do not need to grant access or prepare a full technical audit before the introductory conversation.

Yes. We can bring Rails expertise and technical ownership to support your existing team. We agree on responsibilities, coordinate changes, and help with difficult parts of the application while your team continues its work.

This can include upgrades, performance work, integrations, architecture decisions, and coordination with teams building other parts of the product.

We begin with your business priorities, then review the codebase, infrastructure, deployments, tests, and integrations. We map the risks, agree on a handover and the first priorities, and add test coverage where needed before making changes.

The first plan addresses urgent production issues and identifies the maintenance, upgrade, and feature work needed to keep the product moving.

Tell us what the application does, who currently maintains it, and what is most urgent. Share the repository, documentation, and infrastructure information you have when we agree on the review. You do not need to prepare a technical audit before talking to us.
