Rails Applications Don't Maintain Themselves
Every Rails app accumulates risk over time. Without active maintenance, small issues become expensive problems.
Security patches and gem updates are delayed
Unpatched dependencies are the #1 attack vector for Rails apps. Left too long, they become urgent incidents.
Rails version is outdated
Running an unsupported Rails version means no security fixes, no bug patches, and growing technical debt.
Technical debt keeps accumulating
Quick fixes become permanent. Test coverage drops. The codebase gets harder to change with every sprint.
Deployment process is fragile
Deployments that require manual steps, praying, or rollback scripts are a ticking clock for production downtime.
Bugs keep accumulating
Without a structured triage process, minor bugs pile up into a backlog no one wants to touch.
Original developers are no longer available
When the team that built it moves on, institutional knowledge vanishes. What was simple becomes risky.

Everything Your Rails App Needs to Stay Healthy
One partner for all your Ruby on Rails maintenance needs — from security patches to full version upgrades.
Rails Version Upgrades
Major and minor Rails version upgrades with migration planning, compatibility testing, and safe rollback strategies.
Gem and Dependency Updates
Regular dependency audits, update planning, and safe upgrades. We keep your Gemfile current without breaking your app.
Security Patching
Proactive vulnerability monitoring, CVE triage, and rapid patch deployment for Rails and all dependencies.
Bug Fixing and Issue Triage
Structured bug triage, reproduction, and fixing. We prioritize by severity and business impact.
Performance Optimization
Query analysis, N+1 detection, caching strategy, and load testing to keep your app fast under load.
Database Review and Query Optimization
Schema review, slow query analysis, index optimization, and migration planning for PostgreSQL and MySQL.
CI/CD and Deployment Improvements
Pipeline hardening, deployment automation, zero-downtime strategies, and infrastructure-as-code review.
Monitoring and Observability Setup
APM, error tracking, log aggregation, and custom dashboards so you always know what your app is doing.
Codebase Documentation
Architecture docs, onboarding guides, API documentation, and runbooks so knowledge doesn't walk out the door.
Technical Debt Roadmap
We audit your codebase, identify problem areas, and build a practical, prioritized roadmap for improvement.
Cloud and Infrastructure Support
AWS, Docker, Kubernetes, and serverless infrastructure management. Scaling, cost optimization, and reliability.

A structured, repeatable process designed to reduce risk and build momentum.
Rails Health Check
We audit your Rails version, dependencies, deployment pipeline, security posture, performance metrics, and codebase health. You get a clear picture of where things stand.
Maintenance Roadmap
We deliver a prioritized maintenance roadmap with estimated effort, risk assessment, and a timeline. You decide what to tackle first.
Monthly Maintenance Sprint
We execute the work in regular, predictable sprints — upgrades, patches, fixes, and improvements — with clear communication and no surprises.
Reporting and Continuous Improvement
You receive monthly reports on what was done, what changed, what was found, and what needs attention next. Your app gets better every cycle.
Why Rumrail?
Not all maintenance partners are the same. Here's what makes us different.
Ruby on Rails Specialization

Strong Communication
English-fluent team, async-first communication, Slack integration, weekly updates, and zero excuses. You'll always know what's happening.
Security-Conscious Development
Every change follows secure coding practices. We don't just fix vulnerabilities — we make sure we don't introduce new ones.
