Custom Ruby on Rails development services

You've probably used products built by our Ruby on Rails developers.

Our Rails experience spans high-traffic e-commerce sites and SaaS platforms managing enterprise-level complexity. Teams bring us in when they need Rails developers who've actually solved their problems before.

  • Custom Web Application Development

    Complex web app development depends on clean architecture that supports rapid iteration and long-term maintenance. We build full-stack Rails apps that handle user authentication, database design, and frontend integration while following Rails conventions. Our work establishes testing patterns and structures code for team collaboration, so you get production-ready web apps without accumulating technical debt.

  • MVP Development with Rails

    Both startups and enterprises need to validate product-market fit before investing in complex products. We build MVPs using Rails that go from concept to production in weeks and incorporate user feedback through rapid iteration. Our approach implements core workflows first while establishing patterns that scale when traction justifies investment. Our MVPs allow you to test business hypotheses with real users before committing to development.

  • RESTful API Development

    Modern applications depend on well-structured APIs. We build Rails APIs that handle authentication, version endpoints for backward compatibility, and provide comprehensive documentation. Our work enforces validation, implements rate limiting, and delivers clear error responses. This means your frontend and mobile teams work with reliable APIs that provide consistent behavior and clear documentation.

  • E-Commerce Platform Development

    Off-the-shelf e-commerce platforms force business logic into rigid templates. We build tailored solutions in Rails that handle complex pricing rules and multi-currency transactions while integrating with your payment gateways and inventory systems. This delivers the exact checkout flows and business logic your customers need.

  • Rails Application Modernization

    Legacy Rails applications on unsupported versions accumulate security vulnerabilities and technical debt. We modernize applications through version upgrades and dependency updates while maintaining functionality. Our process addresses breaking changes incrementally and validates behavior through comprehensive quality assurance testing. So applications stay current and secure without disruptive rewrites.

  • Background Job Processing

    Long-running tasks block request threads and degrade user experience. We implement background job systems that process emails, generate reports, and handle scheduled tasks outside the request cycle. Our RoR projects monitor queues, handle failures intelligently, and issue alerts when processing falls behind. So users experience responsive interfaces while intensive operations are completed in the background.

  • Third-Party API Integration

    Rails applications gain value by connecting to payment processors, CRM systems, and external data sources. We build integrations that handle authentication, transform data between systems, and manage errors gracefully. Our engineers implement retry logic and monitor integration health, allowing your application to reliably connect to the services it depends on without brittle custom code.

Their engineers perform at very high standards. We've had a strong relationship for almost 7 years."

The best partnerships are the ones you don't have to worry about. We deliver the kind of technical execution and reliability that builds long-term trust. It's why clients consistently praise our work quality and performance.

Backed by 4000+ devs

Why tech leaders choose our Ruby on Rails teams:

Ruby on Rails FAQ

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

  • How quickly can your Ruby on Rails developers start on my project?

    Most projects kick off in 2–4 weeks. With a bench of 4,000+ senior engineers, we can spin up teams in days.

  • What level of experience do your Ruby on Rails developers bring?

    We hire top 1% nearshore engineers with 8–10+ years of experience. Our Ruby on Rails developers have built production applications serving millions of users while maintaining code quality in large, evolving codebases. They've handled complex upgrades across major Rails versions and understand the patterns that keep applications maintainable as teams grow.

  • Will your engineers work in my time zone?

    Yes. Our RoR development teams operate during US hours, communicate in English, and overlap fully with your in-house staff for standups, sprint reviews, and daily communication.

  • How do you integrate with our workflows and tools?

    We adopt your tools and processes immediately. Our engineers work within your existing repositories and follow agile methodologies you've already established, participating in code reviews and integrating into deployment practices without requiring changes to how your team operates.

  • Do you have experience in regulated industries?

    Yes, we’ve delivered hundreds of software solutions for healthcare, finance, and other highly regulated sectors. We're also ISO 27001 certified. Our security approach includes proper authentication implementation, parameter filtering to prevent vulnerabilities, and automated dependency scanning. We've met HIPAA, GDPR, and PCI-DSS requirements on Rails development projects without slowing delivery timelines.

  • How stable are your teams over time?

    We're structured for long-term partnerships. Most engineers stay on projects for 2+ years, and our 96% client retention rate shows organizations continue working with us year after year. When team adjustments are needed, our 4,000+ engineer bench allows quick additions while maintaining project momentum through proper documentation and handoffs.

  • Do you handle US-based contracts and billing?

    Yes. We operate from US headquarters under US law and jurisdiction. All contracts, billing, and procurement flow through domestic channels, eliminating international complications.

  • Can you upgrade our Rails application from an older version?

    Yes. We perform Rails upgrades by running tests against both versions simultaneously while addressing deprecation warnings incrementally. Our process validates changes through comprehensive test coverage and parallel staging environments before phased production rollouts. So applications stay on supported Rails versions with current security patches and performance improvements.

  • How do you handle performance optimization in Rails applications?

    We profile applications to identify bottlenecks, then address issues systematically through query optimization, caching strategies, and proper indexing. For scalable web applications handling significant traffic, we implement background processing for heavy operations and CDN caching for assets. This maintains responsive experiences as your user base grows.

  • What's your approach to testing Rails applications?

    We build comprehensive test coverage with quality assurance integrated throughout development rather than bolted on at the end. Our test suites maintain fast execution while documenting expected behavior and catching regressions during upgrades. Well-tested applications let teams ship features confidently with fewer production issues.
