Ruby on Rails —
ship features, not config

Convention over configuration, developer happiness, and a framework that has launched more successful startups than any other. We build Rails applications that get to market fast and scale when it matters.

What we build

Ruby development services

From MVPs to mature platforms, Rails remains the fastest path from idea to revenue.

01 / Rails

Full-Stack Rails

Rails 8 with Hotwire, Solid Queue, and Kamal — the full-stack framework that lets a small team punch way above its weight.

  • Rails 8 with Hotwire (Turbo + Stimulus)
  • ActiveRecord with complex associations
  • Action Cable for real-time WebSockets
  • Kamal 2 for zero-downtime deployments
02 / APIs

API-Only Rails

Rails as a JSON API backend — all the conventions and ecosystem without the view layer. Perfect for mobile app backends and microservices.

  • Rails API mode with serializers
  • GraphQL with graphql-ruby gem
  • JWT auth with Devise + doorkeeper
  • API versioning & rate limiting
03 / Background

Background Processing

Sidekiq, Solid Queue, and ActiveJob for reliable async processing — emails, reports, imports, and anything that shouldn't block a web request.

  • Sidekiq with Redis for job processing
  • Solid Queue for database-backed jobs
  • Cron scheduling with sidekiq-cron
  • Dead job monitoring with Sidekiq Web UI
04 / Testing

Test-Driven Development

Rails invented web TDD. RSpec, FactoryBot, and Capybara give us confidence to ship fast without breaking things.

  • RSpec with descriptive test suites
  • FactoryBot for test data generation
  • Capybara for integration testing
  • SimpleCov for coverage reporting

How it looks

Rails convention in action

Create, enqueue, stream — three lines of business logic with Rails doing the heavy lifting.

# Rails 8 with Solid Queue and Turbo Streams
class OrdersController < ApplicationController
  def create
    @order = Current.user.orders.create!(order_params)
    ProcessPaymentJob.perform_later(@order)

    respond_to do |format|
      format.turbo_stream {
        render turbo_stream: turbo_stream.prepend(
          "orders",
          partial: "orders/order",
          locals: { order: @order }
        )
      }
    end
  end
end
FAQ

Common questions.

Is Ruby on Rails still a good choice in 2026?

Rails 8 is the most compelling version ever — Hotwire eliminates the need for a JavaScript framework, Solid Queue removes the Redis dependency for jobs, and Kamal simplifies deployment. GitHub, Shopify, and Basecamp prove Rails scales. For startups and SMBs, it remains the fastest path to production.

Can Rails handle high traffic?

Absolutely. GitHub serves millions of developers on Rails. The key is proper caching (Russian doll caching, fragment caching), background job offloading, database optimization, and horizontal scaling. Rails 8 with YJIT is 3x faster than Rails 5 was.

Should we use Hotwire or a JavaScript framework?

Hotwire for most CRUD applications — it eliminates the complexity of a separate SPA while delivering a modern UX. If you need complex client-side state (real-time collaboration, drag-and-drop builders), pair Rails API with React or Vue. We help you pick the right approach.

How do you handle Rails upgrades and maintenance?

We follow Rails' upgrade path rigorously: run the deprecation warnings, update one minor version at a time, and fix issues incrementally. Our CI pipeline includes RuboCop, Brakeman for security, and comprehensive RSpec suites that catch regressions before they ship.
