What We Build

Ruby on Rails Development Services

Custom Rails Applications

Full web applications built from the ground up on Ruby on Rails — admin systems, internal tools, customer portals and SaaS products.

SaaS Product Development

Multi-tenant SaaS platforms built on Rails, from MVP through to a production-ready, billable product.

API & Webhook Architecture

RESTful and GraphQL APIs, plus resilient webhook handling, powering web, mobile and third-party integrations.

Background Jobs & Automation

Sidekiq/ActiveJob-powered workers for imports, notifications, reporting and any process too slow for a request cycle.

eCommerce & Marketplace Backends

Custom order, pricing, inventory and marketplace logic — standalone, or connected to a platform like Shopify.

Legacy Rails Upgrades

Upgrading older Rails applications to current, supported versions safely, with test coverage added along the way.

New Products

From MVP to a Production-Ready Rails Application

Ruby on Rails remains one of the fastest ways to take a product idea to a working, secure application — its conventions and mature ecosystem mean less time reinventing infrastructure and more time on the logic that makes your product different.

  • Rapid MVP development without cutting corners on security
  • Authentication, authorization & role-based permissions
  • Automated test coverage from day one (RSpec)
  • Clean, maintainable architecture your team can build on
Existing Applications

Maintaining & Modernizing Rails Applications

We regularly take over Rails codebases built by other teams — adding features, improving test coverage, fixing performance bottlenecks, and safely upgrading older Rails and Ruby versions that have fallen out of support.

  • Rails & Ruby version upgrades
  • Performance profiling & database optimization
  • Retrofitting test coverage onto legacy code
  • Ongoing feature development & support

We Also Build Rails Services That Integrate With Shopify

If you specifically need a Ruby on Rails service or app talking to an existing Shopify store, see our dedicated Ruby on Rails Integrations page for that use case.

Our Process

From Scoping to a Reliable Application

01

Discovery & Architecture

We map your data model, integrations and scale requirements before writing a line of code.

02

Build in Milestones

Iterative development with regular staging-environment reviews, not a single black-box delivery.

03

Test & Harden

Automated test coverage, security review and performance checks before go-live.

04

Launch & Support

Deployment support plus ongoing feature development and maintenance as your product grows.

Yes. Rails' conventions, mature ecosystem and strong testing culture still make it one of the fastest ways to ship a secure, maintainable application — especially for teams that want to move quickly without accumulating technical debt.

Yes — including upgrading older Rails/Ruby versions, adding missing test coverage, and taking on ongoing feature development.

Yes, that's a common project shape for us. If Shopify is specifically involved, see our Ruby on Rails Integrations page for that scenario.

Yes — we can deploy and manage it on AWS as part of our Cloud & DevOps service, with monitoring and ongoing support.
